Their recent papers demonstrate active contributions to the field, including the following works:

  • "Next-generation ensemble projections reveal higher climate risks for marine ecosystems" (2021, Nature Climate Change)
  • "Changing how we approach fisheries: A first attempt at an operational framework for ecosystem approaches to fisheries management" (2020, Fish and Fisheries)
  • "Management Strategy Evaluation: Allowing the Light on the Hill to Illuminate More Than One Species" (2021, Frontiers in Marine Science)
  • "It is past time to use ecosystem models tactically to support ecosystem-based fisheries management: Case studies using Ecopath with Ecosim in an operational management context" (2023, Fish and Fisheries)
  • "Marine ecosystem-based management: challenges remain, yet solutions exist, and progress is occurring" (2024, npj Ocean Sustainability)

Collaborations with coauthors are a notable aspect of their research output. Frequent collaborators include:

  • Anthony R. Marshak
  • Janne B. Haugen
  • Elizabeth A. Fulton

Related Online Degrees & Career Pathways

Studying Ecology and Evolution can open doors to diverse careers both inside and outside traditional scientific fields. Many students look to further their expertise or shift paths entirely, and online education plays a major role in creating these opportunities.

For those interested in the intersection of science and mental health, specialized clinical psychologist online programs provide a pathway to clinical practice. If your passion leans toward community work or social care, consider exploring online schools for human services to advance your impact.

Career changers are also supported. For educators seeking new directions, there are practical steps on how to make a career change from teacher to SLP (speech and language pathologist), leveraging teaching experience into new professional roles.

Even those eyeing creative design or environmental planning can enrol in naab-accredited online architecture degrees and merge ecological knowledge with built environments. Across these fields, online degrees offer the flexibility, accreditation, and support needed for successful, meaningful career transitions.
