My primary research interest is the development and application of quantitative methodologies to salmon biology and management.

• Development of an Inseason Model to Predict Bristol Bay Sockeye Salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka) Migration Timing
• The Effects of Salmon Abundance and Run Timing on the Performance of Management by Emergency Order
• Retrospective analysis of Chinook salmon growth and survival
• Conservation and dynamics of small populations
• Model selection methodologies for ecological, epidemiological and fisheries data series
• Application of decision analysis and Bayesian statistics to resource management
• Pacific salmon management, esp. forecasting methodologies, implications of climate fluctuations, early marine growth and survival and the economic viability of rural fishing communities
