Ocean Biology

Our ocean is a huge heat sink and absorbs atmospheric carbon dioxide. The ocean plays a central role in mitigating climate change. MBA researchers focus on the impact this has on ocean biology, from plankton to sharks. Our research looking at spatial dynamics of marine life, environmental changes and human impacts underpin advice that helps in the effective management of the ocean based upon new understandings of plankton and fish dynamic and how they function within the marine food web and environment.
