My research is focussed on the use microchemistry, in particular stable isotopes and trace metals, to determine the ecology of marine animals. Using sclerochronological and other samples in conjunction with biological and ecosystem data, I am interested in determining the location, ecology, and movements of animals in time and space to determine their behavior in relation to environmental factors such as temperature, etc. This information allows for the assessment of likely future vulnerability to changes in habitat, prey, and other stressors for different species, life stages, and functional groups.
