Dr Bernardino (Dino) Malauene
Affiliation: Research Fellow – Ocean Science & Marine Food Security Research Chair
Email Address: dinomalawene@yahoo.com.br
Research Interest(s): Physical Oceanography; Climate Change and Variability; Marine Ecosystem Functioning and Characterization; Connectivity; Marine Environmental Monitoring and Mitigation; EIA Process
Description of Research: Dr Malauene’s research focuses on the marine ecosystem. He uses applied marine science, combining in situ observations, satellite data and both ocean and biophysical modelling to investigate ocean processes including environmental factors, their role on marine life and ultimately relate these to fisheries population dynamics.
Dr Carla Edworthy
Affiliation: Research Fellow - Department of Zoology
Email Address: carla.edworthy@mandela.ac.za
Research Interest(s): Climate change, ichthyology, eco-physiology
Description of Research: Dr Edworthy's research aims to understand the interaction between coastal species and their environment, with a specific focus on understanding their eco-physiological responses to a changing world, with a focus on climate change and ocean acidification.
Dr Daniel Lemley
Affiliation: Research Fellow – Department of Botany and the DSI/NRF Shallow Water Ecosystems Research Chair
Email Address: Daniel.Lemley@mandela.ac.za
Research Interest(s): Water Quality; Nutrient Analysis; Estuaries; Eutrophication; Microalgae; Phytoplankton
Description of Research: Dr Lemley's work focuses on estuarine and coastal ecology, with a particular interest in the process of eutrophication and harmful algal blooms. He investigates the autecology of various harmful algal bloom species in South African coastal and estuarine ecosystems, aiming towards effective mitigation in the future.
