Alumni

Biography

Lily obtains her BSc in Biology from Imperial College London, and an MRes in Applied Marine Science from Plymouth University. She is now a PhD candidate in KAUST, working on investigating the impacts of extreme environmental conditions on coral reefs, using remotely-sensed data and model simulations.

Research Interests

​Lily is interested in biogeochemical extremes and their impacts on marine environments and ecosystems. While her PhD focused on linking specific characteristics of marine heatwaves to coral bleaching in the Red Sea and globally, she has also used outputs from a large model ensemble (CMIP6) to investigate the impacts of different emissions scenarios on corals, as well as outputs from an ecosystem model to understand the contribution of compound extremes to coral bleaching severity.
