Coastal Oregon Marine Experiment Station - Newport

My research revolves around Staghorn Sculpin predation of Ghost Shrimp.

Phylogeography of the Yelloweye Rockfish along the U.S. West Coast: isolation by distance, potential effects of biogeographic breaks and sites of larval retainage, and deme-level selective adaptation. 

I study the multiple stressor effects of pollution and climate change in the model estuarine fish species Menidia beryllina. I am primarily interested in linking genetic data to adverse outcomes, such as altered behavior or fecundity, to inform computational models.

I am conducting research on coastal steelhead and rainbow trout in the Ventura River of Southern California. The focus of my research is genetic population structure, landscape genetics, smoltification patterns, and migration of juvenile O. mykiss.

For my Masters thesis I am building a computer model that parameterizes groundfish detectability in fishery surveys during coastal hypoxia events. Findings from my thesis can be adapted to reduce uncertainty in stock assessments as it incorporates changing oxygen conditions in the Eastern...

I will be working with Brett on a West Coast Aquaculture Collaborative Initiative through NOAA Sea Grant, assessing region-scale barriers to sustainable aquaculture through an Ecosystem-Based-Management approach.

I am currently working on protease inhibition in Pacific whiting under Dr. DeWitt.

Climate-mediated spatio-temporal shifts in Pacific Cod (Gadus macrocephalus) spawn timing and growth in the Gulf of Alaska.
