Bio
I am a marine scientist with a focus on Arctic ecosystems. My research involves the measurement of biomarkers, stable isotopes, and contaminants to understand how climate change and pollution are impacting the marine food web, with a particular interest in subsistence or wild foods for Arctic Indigenous communities. Working alongside communities to co-produce knowledge and promote equitable research is a central focus of my work.
