BSc Hons (Stanford), PhD (Scripps)

Research Associate

I trained as marine scientist in California, with undergraduate and graduate degrees from Stanford University and the Scripps Institution of Oceanography respectively. I completed post-doctoral work on abalone and Pacific salmon, before moving to the pelagic fisheries group at CSIRO Marine Research.

Research Interests

My research field is Biological Oceanography; the mechanism of environment-biology interactions is given greater importance than "pure" Marine Ecology . My recent research focus is the influence of the environment on the distribution and abundance of marine species, particularly relating to the sustainable management of Australian fishery resources. I have worked with a wide variety of marine taxa and systems and use a variety of technology, including satellite data, and acoustic tagging and monitoring.
