Kristen Sora
Kristen’s (she/her) PhD research topic encompasses multi-stressor impacts on the Canadian Beaufort Sea marine ecosystem at various biological scales. Specifically, she will develop and apply food web models and associated indices using the platform Ecopath with Ecosim (EwE) to understand system dynamics. The food web models will investigate possible changes in the Beaufort Sea ecosystem structure and function under changing environmental and human… Read More
Rhea Storlund
Dr. Storlund is a comparative ecophysiologist and ocean science communicator. She studies the physiological adaptations that enable marine mammals to dive and hold their breath for extraordinary periods, while also training others to share ocean science effectively with diverse audiences.
Genyffer Troina
Dr. Troina investigates the trophic and spatial ecology of marine top predators. She has been applying natural chemical tracers to learn about the foraging ecology and habitat use by marine mammals, how sympatric cetacean species compete for available resources, and how human-induced changes can affect the structure and dynamics of marine pelagic ecosystems.
