Bio

Alexandra’s research focuses on how factors across aquatic ecosystems influence growth, survival, and reproductive success in migratory salmon. Currently, Alexandra is studying thiamine deficiency complex in Chinook salmon. She uses the isotopes in eggs, eye lenses, and scales to reconstruct their diets and life histories, with the goal of understanding the disruptions in marine food webs causing this vitamin deficiency.
