(he/him/his) Wildlife biologist w/ NOAA Fisheries AK Sci. Ctr. in Seattle (tho, tweets are my own). interests: seal ecology, bio-logging, rstats, mov’t modeling
New {pathroutr} v0.2.1 #rstats#rstats 📦 for those wanting to re-route marine animal mov't paths around land. Now, ~50% faster and more robust in complex coastlines. Oh, and you can install from r-universe (thanks @rOpenSci !) https://t.co/CtjXATAnFF
🛩️ Our team collaborated with @NOAA to enhance seal monitoring in Arctic and sub-Arctic marine ecosystems. NOAA leveraged our edge computing applications to streamline image analysis, replacing traditional methods with faster, more accurate results 🔗 https://t.co/r5lnRYcEXz

Check future climate projections for any county in the contiguous United States or borough in Alaska. Generate graphs or maps to compare projections against conditions observed in the recent past. https://t.co/LVxzPVU9PE
@FinntasticLeena Similarly, my seals cross the 180 and breaketh my code more than I’d like. But, there are solutions and tricks. Happy to share and help where I can
Scientists use drones to capture imagery directly above of seals that can be used to measure their size and evaluate body condition. #Seals#IceSeals

@kstierhoff@spoonbill_hank@AniMove I think I might have some ideas but will need to find some time to sit down and work through an example. Any chance you’ve got a simple reprex and dataset to share?
Job Alert!! Interested in conservation genetics and marine mammals? Come work with me at #NOAA through #CICOES in Seattle!! 🧬 🐋 🥼

Tomorrow, Washington gets ready to battle the Tulsa Golden Hurricane for the first time in program history. If you're thinking to yourself: wait, isn't Oklahoma in tornado alley? So wouldn't it make more sense if they were called the Golden Tornado? Well, read on...
We are inviting expressions of interest to host the International Statistical Ecology Conference (ISEC) in 2026! ISEC has been a great event to build connections across our community all over the world.

Most groups hand out pre-packaged food, often from outsider the community. @WCKitchen buys food from local growers, and hires local chefs to cook…feeding and strengthening the community at the same time. Support WCK
My lab group is searching for a new 🚨POSTDOC to work on life history trade-offs or fitness consequences of environmental change using an incredible long-term mark-recapture dataset on elephant seals at @ucsc. Review date 8/24. https://t.co/1sBENc9dcT
