Fields of Interest
Biography
My research interests include the effects of climate variations on marine populations, how seabirds interact with their oceanic environment, any and all aspects of penguin biology, and conservation of seabirds. I have studied marine animals as diverse as zooplankton, fish larvae, and seabirds, the common thread being long (20-50 year) records of populations. At the University of Washington, I work with Dr. Dee Boersma analyzing a 30+ year dataset on Magellanic penguins.
I received my Ph.D. in oceanography in 2001 from Scripps Institution of Oceanography, where I was an EPA STAR (Science To Achieve Results) graduate fellow. I conducted research at the South Korean National Fisheries Research and Development Institute under an NSF International Fellowship.
