Experience

​

• My services provide the opportunity for researchers and managers to develop and validate fish age
  reading protocols and ultimately derive age-validated life history characteristics of important
  fisheries and members of aquatic ecosystems.
   

• I have more than 25 years of professional experience operating a world-class fisheries research
  laboratory (Age and Longevity Research) with proficiency in specimen preparations, microscopy and
  structural growth interpretation, fine-scale micromilling of biogenic materials, and pioneering use of
  analytical instrumentation in life history and paleoclimate studies. I am an expert in the use of
  sclerochronology to establish valid timelines and life history parameters for aquatic organisms. My
  work has evolved into a long line of pioneering bio-geo-chemistry applications used to challenge existing
  life history studies with the development of innovative techniques in age estimation and validation.
  My career pursuits cover numerous disciplines within marine science and continues to directly involve research in ichthyology, radiochemistry, marine ecology, and chemical-physical oceanography.
