Brian is a marine ecologist who works on the foraging behavior, habitat associations, and spatial ecology of seabirds, and tries to incorporate these perspectives into spatial models of seabirds and their prey. Brian has worked on marine or aquatic birds within California, Alaska, Maine, Nova Scotia, and Wisconsin, and works now both in the office and at sea, participating in 2-3 coastal surveys per year. Brian has also worked in marine science education and outreach, having spent three years teaching university science courses while mentoring undergraduate students on independent and collaborative research projects. His current focus is on linking at-sea and colony estimates of seabird abundance within the context of marine climate change, and developing internship and outreach opportunities that help improve diversity and equity in the next generation of marine scientists.
