Research interests

Wadden Sea fieldwork - planning and executing, trying to understand all the difficulties that surround Wadden Sea fieldwork and solving the puzzle to make it happen (practicality/ equipment/ ships/ tides/ weather/ living organisms/ salinity/ fouling etc.)

Wadden Sea underwater animal identification (micro to macro) - fish and benthos specialist with zooplankton experience. Identifying all underwater animals up to a reasonable level ;-) and identifying a lot of different animals up to a very specific level (still learning to properly identify bones)

Fish dissection - identification, sexing, otolith/organ extraction, stomach content analysis

Public outreach - general enjoyment of the artistic side of science, and trying to explain something to an interested audience in a way that is understandable (e.g. television, radio, presentations, tours, exhibitions)
