Short-term research work with a variety of field projects, including:• Co-directed 5-week plankton survey throughout the Northwest Passage aboard the British Antarctic Survey vessel R.R.S. Ernest Shackleton, collecting oceanographic data and conducting both discrete ring net sampling and continuous plankton recording• Assisted and led field work aboard the Nunavut RV Nuliajuk in Cumberland Sound near Pangnirtung, Nunavut, exploring effects of gear modifications on Greenland shark (Somniosus microcephalus) bycatch rates in local longline fisheries• Co-led 2-4 week ecosystem surveys from 2014-2016 alongside exploratory fisheries in Nunavut. Survey includes analysis of fish and invertebrate catch from longline and pot fishing gear, biological sampling of targeted species, voucher specimen collection, baited camera deployments.

My doctoral research focuses on the ecological biogeography of deep-sea fishes in remote, understudied deep ocean frontiers off Eastern Canada. Baited cameras were used to explore diversity and distributions of deep-water fishes and invertebrates within the Canadian Arctic, with emphasis on spatial patterns and abundance of the elusive and long-lived Greenland shark. With the help of a remotely-operated vehicle, fish habitat relationships were investigated along the continental slopes of the Flemish Cap. And finally, the influence of warm-core ring currents on the local distribution and diversity of open-ocean mesopelagic fishes was examined in the northwest Atlantic Ocean.
