Research interests:
Our lab is focused on the ecology and conservation of marine invertebrates and fishes. Our projects investigate issues at the interface between conservation science, management, and policy. We use quantitative statistical approaches combined with geospatial tools to explore the ecology of physical and biological components of habitat for commercially important fishes with an emphasis on structure-forming invertebrates. I am also working on developing and articulating K-20 reforms in science education
