Teaching
I teach on many modules across the various Biology degree programmes. I am module organiser for the BL3000 Field Course, BL5304 Ecosystem-Based Management of Marine Systems and BL5599 Biology Research Project (MSc (taught) dissertation).
I am course leader for the MSc in Marine Ecosystem Management.
