Marine ecology, fisheries, and conservation
I am a quantitative marine ecologist and conservation scientist at the NOAA Northwest Fisheries Science Center in Seattle, Washington, USA. Through field experiments, quantitative analysis, and the development of mathematical models, my research focuses on how people's activities influence marine ecosystems, and how changes in marine ecosystems affect people.
I am the co-lead for the California Current Integrated Ecosystem Assessment and the Climate, Ecosystems, and Fisheries Initiative on the U.S. West Coast.
My current research areas of interest include climate risks and opportunities for fisheries and fishing communities, theory and practice in ecosystem restoration and recovery, ecosystem-based reference points, and effects of coastal activities on nearshore fish and invertebrate communities.
Most of my work now centers on the California Current Large Marine Ecosystem, including Puget Sound, but I have also worked in several places throughout the Caribbean studying coral reefs.
