Iām a Postdoctoral Fellow (#NSF OPP) in the Marine Mammal Institute at Oregon State University.
I earned my PhD from Scripps Institution of Oceanography (#NancyFosterScholar) and MSc from Moss Landing Marine Laboratories.
I use #hydrophones and #tags to study #bowhead, #blue, #humpback, and #Brydeās #whale #migration, #movement, #behavior, #ecology, #predator-prey relationships, and ship strike risk spanning the #Pacific Ocean to the #Arctic Ocean.
