His research focuses on how animals such as fish, frogs and crocodiles can survive and function in extreme and hostile environments. Internationally he is recognised as a leading proponent of the emerging field of conservation physiology, and several of his research projects assess the impact of human-induced environmental change on animals. His Antarctic research has looked at the impact of temperature increases on the physiology and survival of fish. He is a strong advocate of wildlife conservation and spends his annual holidays lecturing on cruise boats about the Antarctic ecosystem and its spectacular wildlife.
