Research

My broad, interdisciplinary research interests are in the fields of marine ecosystems and climate variability, climate change impacts on living marine resources, fisheries oceanography, sea turtle biology, and high-resolution global climate modeling. My research is geared to aid in the process of moving forward towards Ecosystem-Based Fisheries Management under changing climate conditions.  To accomplish this, I collaborate with a wide range of fellow scientists at NMFS and GFDL, along with those in academia and other national/international organizations.
