Emma received her MS and PhD from the University of Auckland, New Zealand. Her doctoral research explored local adaptation to rising temperatures, while her master’s research focused on the role of urbanization in nutrient limitation. Following her PhD, she was a post-doctoral fellow at the University of California, Irvine, where she investigated the relationship between temperature and growth rates in marine fish and the role of salinization in freshwater ecosystems. Emma has also worked as a research associate at Imperial College London, studying the relationship between biodiversity and ecosystem function. Her research interests include climate change, salinization, eutrophication, urban contaminants, biodiversity, and freshwater ecology. Emma is particularly interested in how changes in community structure translate into changes in ecosystem function. Her work involves biogeochemistry, invertebrate biology, fish biology, and physiology. Current research includes understanding how contemporary evolution shapes the role of animals in ecosystems and the impacts of urbanization and agricultural land use on ecosystem functions.
