I study ecological and social interactions in aquatic and coastal systems in order to improve our management, conservation, and resilience of aquatic species and the human communities that depend on them. My research has two major foci: (1) assessing adaptation and resilience among US fishing communities through analysis of both quantitative commercial fishing data and qualitative interview data, and (2) studying trophic patterns among aquatic macro-organisms using chemical tracers (bulk stable isotope ratios and fatty acid profiles)... My postdoctoral work focuses on the ecological, economic, and social ramifications of community-supported fishery programs and other supply chains in which harvesters sell seafood directly to consumers. I am also working with an interdisciplinary working group of graduate students at the Socio-Ecological Synthesis Center (SESYNC) and a Coastal SEES project based at Rutgers to study effects of climate change on Northeast US fishing communities.
