My Ph.D. research focuses on investigating the effects of multiple anthropogenic stressors on coralligenous and macroalgal forests habitats, along with their associated biodiversity. In addition to conventional photographic/video surveys methods, my work will explore the application of novel acoustics methods to assess spatial and temporal variations in biodiversity and community structure on the within these habitats. I will specifically examine the effects of anthropogenic noise pollution, increasing temperatures, heatwave events, invasive species, and their interaction to gain insights into how these factors influence these invaluable marine habitats.
