Sparky

Research Interests: Reef fish ecology, larval fish ecology, recruitment and connectivity, vintage guitars, water sports and tea (warm and milky). Why UOGML: Extensive survey work indicated a lack of suitable habitat for reef fish along the English coastline. This coupled with the prospect of studying Cod in the cold, dark Northern Seas for the foreseeable future lead me to seek out warmer climes. My search ended as soon as I found UOGML, as it possesses all the qualities to make it stand out as an exceptional place for both study and research. |
