. My research uses a variety of acoustic and optical techniques to understand the effects of pelagic animal dynamics
. on interactions between animals in the ocean 
 

 

 

In the ocean, most resources are heterogeneously distributed and highly dynamic. I am interested in how changes in resources over time and space affect trophic, competitive, and behavioral interactions of oceanic organisms. Because these interactions occur primarily below the surface waters, I am using a combination of remote techniques, including active acoustics and imaging optics complemented by traditional direct capture methods to observe and quantify resource patterns. These data are used to elucidate the importance of temporal and spatial structure in biotic relationships.
