Summary
I am an environmental scientist interested in understanding anthropogenic impacts on our World.
My current research uses a relatively pristine marine environment of the Southern Ocean around the subantarctic island of South Georgia to understand to what extent fish are ingesting plastics when plastics pollution levels are lower. Fish are ingesting plastics in areas of high human activity; data from remote locations are limited, but vital for defining the scale of the problem.
My research will additionally establish baseline data for monitoring pollution in a Marine Protected Area.
