Andrew has extensive experience in the field of coral reef ecotoxicology, working with a wide range of contaminants (including hydrocarbons, metals, pesticides, herbicides and sediments) and reef taxa (corals, sponges, seagrass, microorganisms). Most recently his research has focused on developing methods to assess the combined impacts of pollution and climate change on ecologically important reef-building taxa and on symbiotic and free-living microbial communities. His research is primarily strategic, providing regulators, management and industry with information to develop, improve or inform guidelines and risk analyses. He also has two decades of experience working on the early life history stages of coral, recently focusing on developing coral aquaculture processes for reef restoration.
