She was PI of four projects: BioPlume - Dependence of coastal ecosystems on river run-off: today & tomorrow (2013-2015), WarmingWebs - Role of biodiversity, species thermal tolerance and food web structure in the response to climate change: Temperate versus tropical ecosystems (2013-2015), CoralSol - response of the invasive coral, Tubastraea coccinea, to climate change and extreme thermal events (2014-2017) and LifeLines - Vulnerability of fisheries and coastal ecosystems to droughts: today & tomorrow (2018-2021).

She supervised three post-docs, 8 PhD students (6 completed), 27 MSc students (22 completed).
