Laura graduated in Oceanography with Marine Biology from the University of Southampton in 2001. She remained at the University of Southampton for a further three years undertaking a PhD in the reproductive success of Antarctic marine invertebrates from which she graduated in 2005. Following my PhD, Laura worked as a Marine Environmental Consultant at the Centre for Marine and Coastal Studies (CMACS Ltd) in Birkenhead, Liverpool. Here, she was tasked with undertaking inshore and offshore surveys, laboratory analyses and report writing to inform environmental impact assessments for a diversity of coastal and offshore developments. In 2009 Laura moved to the Department of Oceanography (Marine Sciences) at the University of Hawai'i at Manoa to undertake a postdoctoral scholarship, where she worked on two projects focussed on the impacts of climate change on ecological processes in Antarctic seafloor ecosystems. Among other things, these projects involved exploring the link between pelagic and benthic systems under changing environmental conditions, and investigating the evolution of seafloor communities in response to changes in ice cover. During this time, she was appointed to a part-time Assistant Professor position and tasked with developing the first Marine Biology graduate programme in Hawai'i. In 2013 Laura was appointed a Teaching Fellow in Marine Biology in the School of Ocean and Earth Science at the University of Southampton, where she delivered a wide range of undergraduate and postgraduate teaching. Following on from this appointment, Laura was promoted to Lecturer in Marine Biology and continued to engage in a variety of teaching and scholarship activities across the University. In 2018 she was appointed Lecturer in Marine Biology at 香港六合彩挂牌资料 and moved to the School of Ocean Sciences in Menai Bridge, where Laura is the Senior and Disability Tutor.

Laura has over ten听years of teaching听别虫辫别谤颈别苍肠别听in Higher Education institutions听and a听strong track record of听programme leadership, innovative curriculum development, coordination of听pedagogy-led teaching innovation and professional staff development.听She has led initiatives aimed at improving assessment听and听feedback practice and engaged in听HEFCE-funded听pedagogic听research听projects听designed听to support听student agency and success in higher education and beyond听().听In 2018, Laura and听the contributions of a听wider academic team听at the University of Southampton were nationally recognized with a Collaborative Award in Teaching Excellence from听AdvanceHE听for听having a demonstrable impact on teaching听and learning through their innovative university-wide, assessment and feedback strategy.听More recently,听she co-led the Staff and Student Training Project听task听group听charged听with developing听a needs-based staff training听programme听and resources hub听designed to听guide听香港六合彩挂牌资料听staff听in their preparations for a听blended听learning听approach.

Laura is a benthic marine ecologist, with a specialism in the Polar Regions. Her primary research interests focus on using benthic systems as models to investigate marine ecological and biological theory against a backdrop of changing environmental conditions, and evaluating benthic ecosystem responses to climate change. Particular areas of interest include the population consequences of ocean warming on the seasonal and inter-annual reproductive ecology of Antarctic marine invertebrates, and the reproductive resilience of Arctic marine invertebrates to environmental variability associated with changing sea ice conditions ().

  • BSc: Oceanography with Marine Biology
    University of Southampton,
  • PhD: The Reproductive Success in Antarctic Marine Invertebrates
    University of Southampton,

I teach across a range of undergraduate and postgraduate modules in the School of Ocean Sciences. The main focus of my teaching is benthic marine ecology and extreme marine habitats.

I currently supervise 1 PhD student as lead supervisor:

Christina Wood - Species resilience, pasticity and adaptation to environmental change. Commenced October 2016. Co-supervisor: Jasmin Godbold (University of Southampton), Clement Garcia (CEFAS), Stefan Bolam (CEFAS). GSNOCS Mayflower Scholarship.

I currently supervise one MRes student as lead supervisor:

Miles Ellis - Plastics at the Poles: Unwrapping the evidence using a time series study of microplastics. Commenced October 2023. Co-supervisor: Professor David Jones (香港六合彩挂牌资料), Dr Christian Dunn (香港六合彩挂牌资料). External contributors: Professor Lloyd Peck (British Antarctic Survey), Dr Ben Wigham (Newcastle University). HEFCW scholarship.

I have taken three PhD students to completion (one as lead supervisor):听

Camilla Cassidy - The effect of environmental variation on species functional traits. Completed June 2020. Co-supervisors: Jasmin Godbold - Lead (University of Southampton), Clement Garcia (CEFAS), Stefan Bolam (CEFAS). NERC SPITFIRE DTP.

Ben Robinson - The ecology of Antarctic benthic communities down to 100 m depth: Disturbance, diversity and succession. Completed January 2022. Co-supervisors: Simon Morley - Lead (BAS), David Barnes (BAS), Martin Solan (University of Southampton). NERC SPITFIRE DTP.

Rebecca de Leij - Impacts of rapid environmental change on the reproduction and fertilisation dynamics of marine invertebrates, using an urchin model. Completed February 2022. Co-supervisors: Lloyd Peck (BAS), Clive Trueman (University of Southampton). NERC SPITFIRE DTP.

I have a range of research interests in which PhD projects could be developed. Please contact me by email in the first instance regarding any of the following areas: benthic marine ecology, reproductive ecology, pelagic-benthic coupling, functional trait variation, polar ecology.
