Researching on various stressors effect on different ecosystems. Susanne works on how over-fishing, eutrophication, climate change and invasive species affect the marine habitats. Often using eelgrass meadows and their inhabitants as indicators.
GĂ©raldine Fauville is both a marine biologist and a pedagogue. The latter, with focus on communication and IT.

She is especially interested in crustaceans and other animals that burrow themselves into muddy sea floors. Right now her research is focusing on ecophysiology and how crustaceans can adapt to stress.
