Migratory connectivity in the ocean
We focus on aggregating information and knowledge regarding how migratory marine species use and connect the ocean to support conservation planning and international policy.
Project lead: Daniel Dunn
Potential impacts of geoengineering the Earth’s climate
We use models to assess the impact of future geoengineering scenarios on marine biodiversity, ecosystems and protected area network configurations.
Project lead: Anthony Richardson
Dynamic ocean management
We use habitat, movement and models to better align the time and space scales used in management of marine industries with the time and space scales of marine ecosystems.
Project lead: Daniel Dunn
Plankton distribution in the Southern Ocean
We compare phytoplankton microfossils to modern oceanographic parameters to understand their habitats and niches, allowing us to interpret past changes in the ocean.
Project lead: Helen Bostock
Sea floor mapping and sediment
We are studying and mapping the seafloor to enhance our understanding of sedimentary processes, biological productivity, and benthic habitat assessments.
Project lead: Helen Bostock
Biogeochemistry of the oceans
Using physical and biogeochemical measurements to enhance understanding of water mass formation, the location of ocean fronts and currents in modern and past climates.
Project lead: Helen Bostock
Bluewater marine protected areas and benefits to fisheries
With the increased declaration of protected areas in the ocean, we are exploring how different fisheries and countries may be impacted.
Project leads: Anthony Richardson, Daniel Dunn
Deep sea sensory systems
We investigate the sensory organ adaptations employed by deep sea fish and cephalopods including visual sensitivities and eye design, brain structure, bioluminescence and lateral line organs.
Project leads: Justin Marshall, Wen-Sung Chung, Fanny de Busserolles, Fabio Cortesi
