Dr Louise Kregting

School of Natural and Built Environment

Dr. Kregting's work is multi-disciplinary bringing together marine ecology, physiology, and biology with coastal and oceanographic modeling techniques. Three main interests include i) Investigating the environmental interactions of marine (wave and tide) energy converters ii) Primary productivity of macroalgae and potential uses as high-value products and biofuel iii) Restoration Ecology, particularly shellfish habitats.
