Summary

Katharine specialises in the field of marine invertebrate physiology. with a keen focus on physiological limits and optimums in relation to stress tolerance, health and welfare. She applies these techniques to a range of environmental settings from climate change adaptation, aquaculture optimisation and now benthic offshore wind vibrations at The University of Hull.
