Research interests

My PhD forms a part of the deep reefs element of the Ningaloo Outlook Project (https://research.csiro.au/ningaloo/deep-reefs/). My work revolves around utilising remote sensing methods including AUV and acoustic technology, to identify the spatial distributions of the mesophotic biota across the Ningaloo Marine Park, Western Australia.

Major interests: - Habitat Mapping - Species Distribution Modelling - Coral Recruitment
