About Me
As an aquatic ecologist, I am interested in how fish interact with their environment and what factors affect survival and persistence of fish populations. I began working with Arctic grayling in 1990 and find the challenges this species faces fascinating. For example, imagine being frozen under ice for more than half the year! Arctic grayling also travel great distances to spawn and feed during the spring and summer, but risk becoming trapped far from their overwintering site when droughts occur. Due to climate change and human development in the Arctic, this species faces increased disruption to their life cycle. Using population genetics, fish ear bone (otolith) microchemistry and PIT tag data, my PhD dissertation research investigates how changes in fish habitat impact Arctic grayling survival and persistence on Alaska’s North Slope.
I enjoy hiking, biking, kayaking, surfing and pretty much anything to do with the outdoors and nature. Plus, I seasonally brew hard cider, am infatuated with Tiny Homes and raise Indian Runner Ducks in my suburban backyard.
