Habitat - Polar marine--coastal and open ocean pelagic communities; seabird nesting areas.
Research - Marine ecology of the Southern Ocean focused within the Western Antarctic Peninsula area, including: physical forcing (atmospheric, oceanic and sea ice) of the ecosystem with emphasis on the ecological consequences of sea-ice variability; biological processes with emphasis on microbial, primary production and the life-history parameters of secondary producers (krill) and apex predators (penguins); physical/optical/chemical/biological modeling that links ecosystem processes to environmental variables.
