Spatharis, Sophie - University of Glasgow

研究领域

My research is focused on understanding the ecological processes that shape marine communities and sustain their diversity and productivity at both local (patch) and regional (metacommunity) scales. I approach these research questions using numerical modelling, laboratory experimentations and field monitoring. Other research interests include the study of dynamics of harmful algal blooms and the assessment of the ecological status of coastal waters
