GSI Seminar - Why we need a global plastics treaty, Dr Ceri Lewis

Ceri Lewis is an Associate Prof in Marine Biology at University of Exeter and Assistant Director of the Global Systems Institute. Her research interests lie in understanding how marine invertebrates adapt and survive in a changing and increasingly polluted marine environment, and the potential impacts of environmental change on their physiology and reproduction. Her current research focuses on 2 main areas; 1) biological impacts of microplastics on marine invertebrates 2) the interactions between chronic pollution and ocean acidification on fitness and function in adult and larval marine invertebrates. In 2010 and 2011 I was part of the Catlin Arctic Survey expedition to study ocean acidification in the high Arctic. She has also led research expeditions to determine the extent of marine microplastic pollution in a number of remote locations including the Galapagos and the Azores.
