The primary goal of our research is to understand the response of trees to global change and anthropogenic threats. We apply ecological genomics approaches to answer fundamental questions about adaptation and species survival. Our research interests fall into three themes, and are centred on tree species from the Indo-West Pacific region, with a focus on East and Southeast Asia:

Adaptation of tropical trees to physiological stress
Present study system: mangroves

Conservation genetics of endangered tree species
Present study system: Dipterocarpaceae

Landscape ecology: Drivers of landscape-level genetic connectivity
Present study system: mangroves
