My research explores large-scale ecological processes that structure coral reef ecosystems under the overarching themes of human disturbance, climate change and resilience. I have worked extensively on the ecological ramifications of extreme environmental conditions on coral and reef fish populations. I have assessed patterns and processes by which degraded coral reefs recover, the capacity of coral reef populations to adapt to climate change, and how this can be incorporated into, or influenced by, management action. Increasingly, my research has focused on the competitive effects of macroalgae on corals, the differential responses of herbivorous fishes to habitat changes, and quantifying ecological processes that promote or erode resilience on coral reefs.
