Research Interests

My research is in the general area of quantitative fisheries ecology with an emphasis on population dynamics and ecosystem modeling. I am most interested in ecologically motivated and statistically innovative research that may improve science-based natural resource management. Specifically, I evaluate and develop quantitative techniques for assessing the past and current status of fish and invertebrate populations. This includes optimizing sampling schemes; developing more biologically realistic assessment models; estimating biological processes that vary over space and time; evaluating management strategies; and exploring how to manage marine populations in the face of climate change. The results are used to inform management decision making in US and international marine management bodies. As such, I work closely with state, federal and international natural resource agencies.
