I am a member of the Research Faculty, affiliated with the Vertebrate Ecology Lab, at Moss Landing Marine Laboratories in Moss Landing, CA (MLML).

My research investigates the acoustic (sound production) and movement (fine-scale kinematic patterns) behavior of animals as well as characterizing soundscapes in a variety of marine habitats. I am particularly interested in how individual animal behavior can be used to answer questions relating to conservation and effects of anthropogenic activities. I use tools such as passive acoustic recorders, non-invasive, high resolution bio-logging tags, and classic observational focal follows, and I study many species, particularly fish and cetaceans. I would be happy to talk with you about your exciting research ideas involving these disciplines and technologies, regardless of species!
