Cher Chow

Senior Research Associate – Pelagic Subsidies to Coral Reefs

Research Overview

I'm interested in better understanding organisms and how they contribute to the functioning of coral reef ecosystems. Under this theme, my work explores how ecosystem functioning can be influenced by the biodiversity of communities and ecosystem connectivity. I'm also interested in interdisciplinary work with ecosystem ecology to understand energetic linkages between ecosystems.
