Calvin J. Munson

Ph.D. Student at the University of California at Santa Cruz

 Welcome! My name is Calvin Munson, and I am a third-year Ph.D. student in the Raimondi-Carr Lab at the University of California, Santa Cruz. I am a community ecologist who conducts research in coastal marine ecosystems. I also have a passion for teaching data science using R. 

My current research focuses on the resilience and recovery of kelp forest ecosystems to global and local stressors, with an emphasis on the drivers of species interactions. Feel free to contact me with any questions!
