NOAA Resource Ecology and Fisheries Management

I conduct ecologically motivated and statistically innovative research that has direct bearing upon natural resource management.

Research themes include:

  • Meta-analysis testing predictions from ecological theory
  • Spatio-temporal models, particularly for community ecology
  • Estimation of biological processes that vary over space and time
  • Global fisheries status and productivity
  • Development and testing of ecological models and methods
