I have been lucky enough to contribute to numerous projects focusing on a range of habitats. These include:

• Submission of new Vulnerable Marine Ecosystem (VME) habitat type to the International Council for the Exploration of the Seas
• Development of the Tristan da Cunha Marine Protection Zone Management Plan

• Rapid wreck assessment near Tristan da Cunha
• Ecology of Pheronema carpenteri aggregations in the Porcupine Seabight
• Global habitat classification for the deep-sea benthos

• Habitat suitability modelling (HSM) of VMEs (Demsophyllum pertusum reef and P. carpenteri)in the North Atlantic
• HSM of D. pertusum and Solenosmilia variabilis in the South Atlantic
• Ecology of seamounts at Ascension Island, Saint Helena and Tristan da Cunha
• Mapping of blue carbon-rich taxa (seagrass and kelp) in southeast Cornwall, UK

• Regional review of the Central and South Atlantic
• Guidelines of the identification of VMEs from imagery
• Annotation of megafaunal communities from deep-sea imagery in the North and South Atlantic
• The use of artificial intelligence, through object detection and identification, to assist in annotation of marine imagery data
