M.Sc. Physical Oceanography, Memorial University of Newfoundland

Description

Biological-physical interactions, computational ecosystem dynamics, ocean photogrammetry

Research interests

I run Dr. Andrew Pershing's Ecosystem Modeling Lab, located at the Gulf of Maine Research Institute in Portland. Our largest project curretly is using SEASCAPE (Satellite-based Estimates and Analysis of Stage-resolved Copepod Abundance in Pelagic Ecosystems) as a tool for forcasting right whale distributions.  We are also working on a photogrammetric system to observe sea surface films in Portland Harbor.
