I am using acoustic telemetry as a method of tracking Rainbow Smelt movements in the Lower Penobscot River, ME to gain a better understanding of where these fish are located, and for how long. This will help us map exposure to mercury and other bioaccumulative toxins which are present in high numbers in the region.

Thesis Research Topic: Using PIT tagging and acoustic telemetry, I am investigating movements of anadromous river herring in the Bellamy River, NH. Specifically, I am trying to understand the degree of upstream passage through historical dam sites and other barriers to migration (i.e. high channel velocities or steep inclines).

Thesis Research Topic:  Investigating the movement ecology of Atlantic cod in the Gulf of Maine using a range of methods (passive and active acoustic monitoring, diets, eDNA) to try to understand the behavior of cod in a changing climate and how these trends relate more broadly to metrics of biodiversity.

Thesis Research Topic: My research investigates seabird movement and trophic ecology in relation to fish communities. Specifically, I am interested in understanding how seabird-fish interactions change over space and time, and how we might use seabirds to help monitor fisheries.

Research interests: how to catch small mammals and birds in grassland and forest systems; how to eat porcupines without getting quilled.

Research interests: finding the optimal sitting/lounging position behind Nathan in his office chair; how to avoid walks in the rain.

Research interests: best methods in squeaking favorite stuffed salmon toy; how to drink sea water and have it not be salty.
