Ongoing projects

I am interested in how bivalve shellfish habitats support the delivery of ecosystem services. In particular, I am working to identify routes of carbon deposition and release in these habitats and understand the balance between these two parameters.

​

This work is funded by the Dornoch Environmental Enhancement Project (DEEP), the Scottish blue carbon forumNatur.Scot and Marine Scotland Science. I am based between Heriot-Watt UniversityEdinburgh Napier University and St Abbs Marine Station.

In addition, this work has further benefited from further funding by MASTS and ECSA
