• Physiological ecology
• Seabird ecology
• High latitude ecology
• Disease ecology and epidemiology
• Decision analysis

My research is mainly centered around physiological ecology—exploring connections between physiology and ecological processes. My research aims to understand individual and population level adaptations and responses to environmental change, from interdisciplinary and integrative perspectives and by applying a variety of experimental and observational research methods. I mostly, but not exclusively, work with marine birds. I am interested in applied ecology and seeking to address conservation and management objectives for marine species. I am also interested in the interface of environmental, animal, and human health, and One Health approaches to solving challenges.

• Status and trends of seabirds in the Kenai Peninsula coast—phenology and seasonal distribution of seabird communities in fjord ecosystems, and seabird population response to environmental change
• Impact of lagoon habitat change on Steller’s eiders—investigating how changes in suitability of essential coastal lagoon habitats explain population dynamics of Steller’s eiders in southwest Alaska 
• Ecology and limiting factors of birds breeding along the Beaufort Sea coast—ecology and adaptations of barrier-island nesting common eider and tundra nesting water birds in the high Arctic
• SeeBird: High School Citizen Scientists monitor seabirds—engaging student scientists in seabird observations and monitoring
• HABs and seabirds—investigating effects of HABs on seabird health, physiology, and behavior
• Changing tides—coastal ecology on the convergence of intertidal invertebrates, bears and people
