Research Interests & Personal Statement

To contribute to the study of oceanography, while creating meaningful connections between scientists and fisheries stakeholders. Field based investigations of temperature related phytoplankton dynamics and their impacts on fisheries. How this information is presented and distributed to the public is of particular post-analysis importance.
