Research Interests

---

My research focuses on using trace element and stable isotope composition of biogenic carbonates (e.g. fish otoliths and coral skeletons) to investigate:

• Pulsed/press events (e.g. upwelling, sediment plumes) on the Great Barrier Reef
• Diadromous fish movements and mixed stock analyses
• Marine population connectivity and migratory ecology of fishes

This work is being pursued in the labs of Professor Malcolm McCulloch (ANU) and Professor Mike Kingsford (JCU).

I am also available to co-supervise honours and post-graduate students in these areas.  Please contact me if you are interested.
