I have been Deputy Executive Secretary of PICES since 1999.
My Bachelor of Science (Biology, with distinction) is from the University of Victoria
and a Ph.D. (Fish Biology) from the Department of Aquaculture, Sveriges Lantbruksuniversitet
(Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences). In my former lives, I was Head of Scientific
Computing at the Pacific Biological Station and Head of the Fisheries
Oceanography section via the Institute of Ocean Sciences. When time allows, my research interests
include atmospheric-oceanic interactions and their effects on marine ecosystems; my daughter accuses my
of being too interested in the weather.
