Postdoc at University of Michigan. PhD from Michigan State University. Landscape fisheries ecologist 🐟, macrosystems ecology, and data-intensive science.
Excited to share manu in Ecography! We estimate fish abund at historical temps & compare to historical catch data to test models (results:models do a good job)! 🐟We also incorporate data from multiple gear types! 🎣 all code/data published @kmalofs@HLopezFernandez@an_dre_a_

There is still time to register for our Lunch and Learn event on Dec 1st to learn about current perspectives on wake boats. Only $30 for attendees and $20 for students! https://t.co/Q8MevzfFT9
Karen Alofs, an assistant professor at @UMSEAS, was featured on a @BridgeMichigan segment about the impact on fish of warming temperatures in the Great Lakes. https://t.co/kTUHGni1uT
We are excited to share the #LakesAppreciation social media challenge winners! Thanks to all who took part! https://t.co/WpUWtqGYDt

Swarm of spawning logperch spotted by @UMBS researcher and @UMichEEB assoc. professor Hernán López-Fernández along Douglas Lake. Before this week, he had only seen five. @HLopezFernandez studies the diversity, evolutionary history and conservation of fishes.
So proud of my UROP student for getting a blue ribbon on her poster presentation yesterday! Working to digitize historical management data. Future uses include looking at changes in mngment actions over time & how these actions affect fish sp distributions! @UROPumich@kmalofs
Summer NSF-REU position in Fish Ecology and Climate Change @UMSEAS: If you're an undergrad looking for research experience, join us to work w/ museum specimens and study changes in growth in freshwater fishes. Apply by Feb 27. https://t.co/k6CDV9r6BS
I hope to recruit a PhD student to join the Alofs lab at UM-SEAS in Fall 2023. If you are interested in studying the impacts of environmental changes on freshwater fish, please read on. 1/n
We are searching for a postdoc in Fish Ecology and Climate Change to start fall 2022 @UMSEAS. Come work with historical data, museum specimens, and models to understand why warming may influence growth of some fishes more than others. https://t.co/Wgzs88XS1q
Check out this thread on our new publication that explores the functional differences between ponds, lakes, and wetlands and ultimately proposes a pond definition! #GLEON
What is a pond?! We’re excited to announce our new publication https://t.co/rcGOZvCknh in @SciReports that compiles existing scientific and legal pond definitions, compares how ponds functionally compare to lakes and wetlands, and proposes an evidence-based pond definition. 1/n
