Sarah was a Senior Research Associate at Lancaster Environment Centre and a member of the REEFS group working with Nick Graham on the EU COMFORT project. Her research has involved the use of statistical and population modelling to explore the impact of management strategies on target fish stocks and associated bycatch species. She explored the impacts of climate change on reef fish assemblages and the fisheries they support, investigating dependence on reef species, how this correlates with socio-ecological predictors, and how it has altered following climate-related disturbance.

Sarah is working at the University of Leeds as a Research Fellow. She is currently exploring the impacts of climate change on reef fish assemblages and the fisheries they support, investigating dependence on reef species, how this correlates with socio-ecological predictors, and how it has altered following climate-related disturbance.
