Background
Mark Scheuerell studies how natural processes and anthropogenic factors
interact to drive ecological dynamics. Much of his research focuses on the
effects of climate variability and human activities on Pacific salmon
populations and the aquatic ecosystems they inhabit. Mark has been with
the NWFSC since 2003 and is also an affiliate assistant professor in the
School of Aquatic and Fisheries Sciences at the University of Washington.
Mark holds a B.S. in Zoology from the University of Wisconsin, an M.S. in
Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences from Cornell University, and a Ph.D. in
Zoology from the University of Washington.
Current Research
Mark uses a combination of simulation and statistical modeling approaches
to investigate the spatial and temporal dynamics of aquatic ecosystems.
His current efforts concentrate on (1) exploring the effects of climate
and ocean conditions on the survival and age composition of Pacific
salmon, (2) investigating the integral role of anadromous salmon as
keystone species in coastal ecosystems, and (3) collaborating with a large
group of scientists to produce an integrated ecosystem assessment of Puget
Sound.
