Field work design and implementation
A full-time Research Assistant with the University of Canterbury’s Marine Ecology Research Group, Paul has nine years of research experience in nearshore and intertidal ecology.
Paul’s work at EOS involves studying the intertidal fauna of estuaries, implementing field programmes, processing samples, and identifying species. “I’m really enjoying the lab facilities on offer at EOS and the fact that I have a chance to get out and scrabble in the mud!”
