I have 10 years of experience and specialize in the field of marine biology, with specific knowledge of ecology, geographic information systems (GIS) and statistics. I have published on such topics as predator-prey interactions, environmental monitoring design and species-habitat associations. My primary research projects involve studies on how habitat complexity affects the relationship between physical forcing factors and patterns of species distribution, and abundance in subtidal and intertidal marine communities. Other projects currently underway involve studies of scale dependency in species/habitat relationships, as well as studies on the influence of landscape complexity on the maintenance of genetic diversity in marine populations.
