PhD Ocean Sciences

MS Biology

BS Wildlife & Conservation Biology

​

Marine ecologist

I study how marine animals interact with the ocean. Animal tracking and remote sensing help me understand where animals go, and why. I study foodwebs with stable isotopes. And I study how animals are exposed to chemicals like contaminants in the marine environment.

I have worked on avian ecology research projects since 2003. Like the animals I study, these projects have been wide-ranging, and have taken me around the world.
