Environmental Impact

Since most of our work takes place in situ on coral reefs, a lot of projects are impacted by rapid environmental change. We are therefore interested in how our model organisms cope with disturbances. We use our long term monitoring of coral reef fish populations in Kimbe Bay to learn about the impact of warming, run-off and noise pollution.
