natural and human related risk factors influencing the outcome of the 2004 tsunami, Sri Lanka
robustness (resilience) as a framework for characterizing the vulnerability and sensitivity of coastal systems and, potentially, many other systems. (Andrew & colleagues have recently developed a new probabilistic metric of robustness which is spatially explicit)
application of a marine ecological similarity index (we developed in 2001) to forensic psychology, to improve the detection of serial sexual offences
assessment of tropical marine ecosystems, including development of new biodiversity metrics and delineation of biodiversity patterns, mainly in the Indian Ocean
ecology of the Arabian Gulf and assessment of environmental disturbances
