Ecological modeling solutions for wildlife conservation, bringing together data and theory to address emerging challenges in marine ecosystems. Applications include process-based ecological and socio-ecological models, Bayesian state-space models of behavior and population dynamics, Population Viability Analyses (PVA), and wildlife survey analyses.

Through my research, student mentoring and professional activities, I aim to contribute to our understanding of ecosystem function, species interactions, and scientifically sound approaches to wildlife conservation and management. I develop novel quantitative and analytical tools to help in solving thorny ecological problems. I am dedicated to fostering greater diversity within the ecological sciences, both by mentoring students representing a broad range of backgrounds and experiences, and through research collaborations that prioritize inclusive and equitable approaches to natural resource management. I firmly believe that the most effective approaches to marine wildlife conservation are those that recognize, incorporate and learn from a diverse array of skills, values and governance principals, including those exemplified by coastal indigenous communities
Research Topics
Research Topics
Population dynamics
Population dynamics
Mathematical models of demographic processes provide insights and solutions for the conservation of wildlife (for example, viability of seabird populations or recovery projections for sea otters)
Threat impacts
Threat impacts
Analyses of the population-level impacts of threats are used for prioritizing management actions and identifying emerging conservation challenges (such as bird collisions with powerlines)
Behavior and foraging ecology
Behavior and foraging ecology
Mechanistic models of behavior, including foraging ecology and responses to stimuli, help managers interpret and understand population status, food web interactions and consequences of wildlife disturbance
Species interactions and Socio-ecological networks
Species interactions and Socio-ecological networks
Describing and understanding the dynamics of ecosystem interaction webs, including the links between wildlife and people, supports informed decisions that ensure resiliency of food webs and resources that are vital for human communities
