Research Interests

Megan is interested in spatial modelling on coral reefs, and has previously used species distribution models to inform reef conservation and coral restoration. During her PhD, she will use similar models, along with hydrography surveys, to understand more about the mesophotic reefs of the Red Sea, an area which been understudied so far.
