She is a marine ecologist with a background in oceanography and field ecology. Rachael is interested in how individual marine animals, typically seabirds and pinnipeds, interact with their environment through movement: from fine-scale foraging behavior to migrations. Recently, her work has taken her to Alaska, the northwest Hawaiian Islands, and the Falkland Islands. Rachael received her Ph.D. in Ocean Science from the University of California Santa Cruz. Rachael is co-PI of the Seabird Oceanography Lab based at OSU’s Hatfield Marine Science Center (http://hmsc.oregonstate.edu/group/seabird-oceanography-lab).
