The scientist has collaborated frequently with several coauthors, including:

  • Katy R. Nicastro
  • Gerardo I. Zardi
  • Nicolas Spilmont
  • Vincent M. P. Bouchet
  • Christopher D. McQuaid

Their research addresses pressing environmental challenges such as plastic pollution and its effects on marine ecosystems, often using marine organisms like foraminifera and mussels as bioindicators. This work includes considerations of how environmental factors like temperature impact marine metabolism and ecosystem functioning. Their interdisciplinary approach connects marine biology, chemistry, and environmental science to provide a more comprehensive understanding of ecological responses and pollution impacts in oceanic and coastal environments.
