Another research focus within his group is climate change effects on coastal ecosystems including studies investigating how future and current coastal ocean acidification effects the survival and performance of early life stage bivalves and fish. A final area of interest is investigating how anthropogenic activities such as eutrophication and the over-harvesting of fisheries alters the natural biogeochemical and/ or ecological functioning of coastal ecosystems.
