Emily is a Postdoctoral Research Associate at Flinders University. Her research is investigating the impacts of anthropogenic stressors on fish and marine systems. This research currently has two areas of interest: 1) investigating the impacts of microplastics on marine organisms, and 2) understanding the impacts of light pollution on the marine environment. As the Director of Research for Saving Nemo, Emily is involved in developing the citizen science program, IC-ANEMONE, to engage citizen scientists to participate in the collection of long-term data on the health and abundance of anemonefish and anemones at locations around the world. Emily also supervises honours and higher degree research students with research projects that fall within the aims of Saving Nemo.
