Marine ecologist working at the intersection of climate change, biodiversity, conservation planning, and spatial prioritization.

I work on climate-smart conservation: integrating climate change into the design and management of area-based tools such as marine protected areas, and linking climate ecology with conservation planning.

🚧 Right now, this includes:

• Building SDMs and downscaling workflows for the Save the Blue Five project in the Eastern Pacific
• Exploring how ocean fronts shape biodiversity and interact with fishing pressure
• Exploring how static area-based conservation needs to evolve in a dynamic ocean

More broadly, my research focuses on how climate change reshapes marine biodiversity across space and depth, and how this can inform real-world conservation, spatial planning, and decision-making.

• Climate-smart conservation planning
• Dynamic ocean management and area-based conservation
• Three-dimensional ocean conservation
• Marine protected areas and high seas conservation
• Linking science to policy and decision-making

• Climate data downscaling workflows from global to regional scales
• Species distribution models under climate change
• Spatial analyses linking biodiversity, fronts, and climate dynamics
• Reproducible pipelines for environmental data science
• Tools and materials for workshops and collaborative science
