I am a fisheries oceanographer investigating ecosystem responses to climate variability and change. This research involves consideration of theory, observations (time series and process studies), and models.

My research group works to understand the impact of climate processes--both natural and anthropogenic--on fisheries and ecosystem productivity. By investigating the influence of physical processes on nutrient composition, the carbonate system, oxygen content, and the structure of planktonic assemblages, we hope to better understand the implications of long-term climate changes for the productivity of living marine resources.
