Her research examines marine conservation, ocean literacy, and human-nature connections through interdisciplinary approaches combining marine ecology and social science. Primary interests include:
- Public understanding of coastal risks (e.g., tidal safety)
- Marine resource management strategies
- Psychosocial aspects of human-ocean relationships
- Transdisciplinary methodologies for marine policy
Publications demonstrate strong focus on applied marine social science, with recent work emphasizing ocean literacy interventions, tidal risk communication, and marine identity frameworks. Her research consistently bridges ecological data and social behavior analysis.
