Extinction or adaptation: quantifying marine ecosystem responses to ancient climate change
Project overview. Marine ecosystems are under urgent threat from ocean warming, deoxygenation and acidification today. Earth has warmed (and cooled) many times before, with sustained warm periods that resemble worst-case-scenario predictions for modern climate change. Read more
Comparing cryptobenthic fishes: from cool climates to coral reefs
Project overview. This project will compare communities of small ‘cryptobenthic’ fishes (camouflaged fishes, <5cm long) across latitudinal gradients, from temperate to tropical reef ecosystems. Read more
Glaciers and Climate Change
Project overview. Glaciers are retreating worldwide and are a major contribution to global sea-level rise. There are many factors which control melting rate, particularly water at the glacier bed. Read more
Ancient climate change as a driver of ocean (de)oxygenation and marine ecology
Project overview. The ocean is losing its breath. Persistent ocean deoxygenation causes disruptions in the nutrient cycle with devastating consequences for ecosystems, but its future remains unclear. Read more
From carbon cycling to microstructure: echinoderms as a control on global climate and ocean biogeochemistry
Project overview . Sea urchins and the echinoderms more broadly probably biomineralise as much calcium carbonate as coral reefs, although they have received a fraction of the attention. Read more
It’s getting hot in here – coral-based reconstructions of ocean warming
Project overview. The upper ocean has warmed by ~1oC since pre-industrial times. However, sea surface temperature measurements before the 1980s carry considerable uncertainty. Read more
