Biodiversity in the coastal ocean
My current projects in the coastal ocean are focused on two Large Marine Ecosystems (LMEs): the Northeast U.S. Shelf (NES) LME and the California Current LME.
Current projects
Northeast U.S. Shelf (NES)
I am co-PI and Information Manager for Phase I of the Northeast U.S. Shelf (NES) Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER) project.
California Current
I am co-PI for a NOAA-funded project "Harmful Algal Bloom Community Technology Accelerator" in collaboration with the Southern California Coastal Ocean Observing System (SCCOOS), Central and Northern California Ocean Observing System (CeNCOOS), University of California Santa Cruz, and Axiom Data Science [link to WHOI press release].
