Areas of interest

My MSc project aims to quantify the influence of abiotic parameters, particularly chemical factors, such as salinity, dissolved oxygen, and pH, on the production of biogenic sedimentary structures in coastal environments. To achieve this, I will conduct laboratory experiments using saltwater aquaria to observe how burrowing invertebrates respond to variations in physical and chemical conditions. I will regularly photograph and X-ray these aquaria to document and quantify changes in burrowing behavior.
