My research focuses primarily on the ecology and biology of calcifying marine organisms, and in particular on biometry, mechanical properties, skeletal characteristics, isotopic composition, growth rates and population dynamics in temperate and subtropical corals along anthropogenic and natural pH and temperature gradients to predict their response to climate change, in particular to ocean warming and acidification.
