Biology, ecology and conservation of cold-water corals:
• Impacts from fishing and offshore oil and gas on coral ecosystems
• Using corals as tracers of marine pollution
• Conservation planning for cold-water corals
Biodiversity conservation:
• Biodiversity on campus and in urban environments
• Biodiversity in the public domain

Directed Readings:
I’m currently looking for a student to conduct a directed readings course on the Hemlock Woolly Adelgid, or on a topic related to urban biodiversity or evolution in urban environments.
