Biography, Education and Training

Hi, I’m Kelly Vasbinder, a Post-Doc in Jerome Fiechter’s lab in the Ocean Sciences Department here at UCSC. My research interests are in population and ecosystem modeling of fisheries species. I am especially interested in early life stages of fish, and how we can better represent the dynamics of larval and juvenile stages in models. My dissertation work was on larval growth and transport in the Gulf of Mexico, and my current Post-Doc research focuses on the outmigration of juvenile salmon and their predator-prey interactions off of central California.
