Veronica Radice is a multi-disciplinary, environmental scientist specialising in marine science and coral reef ecosystems. Her research investigates coral responses to global climate change such as ocean warming and ocean acidification using field-based experiments, biogeochemical techniques, and genetic tools to study corals in shallow and mesophotic reef environments. She uses a whole-ecosystem approach across benthic and pelagic organisms, including nutrients, trace elements and particulate resources.

Veronica believes in the importance of science communication. In addition to being a database manager, she also runs the mesophotic.org "Behind the Science" blog series that highlights the challenges and excitement of undertaking scientific research, showcasing the cumulative team effort required for scientific research. You can find the blog posts at www.mesophotic.org/posts.
