My research experience largely revolves around the California coastline where I have focused on oceanography, phycology, and invertebrate physiology.
Benthic Invertebrate Vulnerability
An evaluation of benthic invertebrate vulnerability to ocean acidification and hypoxia, with the goal to better inform management via identifying at-risk species and highlighting monitoring gaps.
Assisted with this project under Meghan Zulian M.Sc. and the Ocean Climate Lab
Kelp Microstage Reproduction
The effects of projected levels of decreased salinity, increased temperature, and Sargassum presence tested on Macrocystis early life stages to better understand the effects of multiple stressors on kelp reproduction.
Assisted with this project under Angela Korabik Ph.D.
Oceanographic Data Synthesis
A high-resolution synthesis dataset for multistressor analyses along the US West Coast
A large data synthesis project to compile, format, & quality-control publicly available oceanographic data from the US West Coast. The goal was to create an accessible database for coastal California Current System climate risk mapping.

White Abalone Thresholds
My first independent study — focused on white abalone and examined their temperature and pH thresholds in relation to their rearing and out-planting sites in Northern and Southern California respectively.
