Projects

The goal of this working group is to bring researchers in the fields of population genomics and spatial ecology together to understand how individual dispersal patterns are reflected in genomic population structure. To bridge the gap between population connectivity estimates from the perspectives of population genomics and spatial ecology we must reconcile different definitions of connectivity and the influence of different data types on common connectivity estimations. Identifying a common framework for unifying these branches of population research will allow for increased syntheses of disparate data types and ultimately an increased understanding of population dynamics and the distribution of genetic diversity across the sea. This project is funded by NSF’s RCN for Evolution in Changing Seas.

Classification of ocean biomes and communities based on physical processes. We looked at multiple candidate variables for classification - light, depth, nutrients, grain size, primary produciton, and substrate mobility. The classificaiton which sorted and grouped biomes and communities best was Primary Production and Substrate Mobilty

Investigating regional and global patterns in lake surface area trends

Determining the movement patterns of the endangered Green Sturgeon in the Sacramento watershed.
