My research interests encompass broad areas of marine ecology and conservation. I am particularly interested in understanding how different stressors producing global changes impact marine and coastal social-ecological systems in terms of their adaptability, resilience and management. I am also interested in understanding ecological processes driven by trophic interactions across marine food webs. I have studied the trophic ecology of large marine predators in the Northeastern Pacific Ocean, invasive mesopredators in the Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico, and invasive macroalgae impacts mainly through the use of stable isotope analysis.
