Erin is broadly interested in the study of both social and ecological aspects of aquatic conservation and in effectively communicating this research to natural resource managers, students, and the public. Her master’s research at Michigan State included a qualitative study on climate change perceptions in natural resource management organizations and a quantitative study on the influence of landscape features and climate change on aquatic habitats and fisheries. Her PhD research at UC Davis included modeling species richness and distribution of freshwater fish in Central Chile as well as managing the Pacific Aquatic Telemetry Hub (PATH) database and analyzing telemetry data to inform Green Sturgeon and flow management. Erin’s postdoctoral work at UC Davis will integrate fisheries movement data, hydrology, and policy to support fisheries management and conservation.
