Tina currently works as a research biologist at
Hubbs-SeaWorld Research Institute in San Diego. Her focus is on
applying new and innovative technology toward conservation and
management challenges. These applications involve work on various
projects spanning a diverse subject matter including killer whales,
manatees, the Mexican spotted owl, northern fur seals and most
recently, the American marten and northern goshawk.
Under supervision of Dr. Ann Bowles, Tina is
currently conducting a noise impact study for three collaborative
projects in the Tahoe Basin, Plumas, and Lassen National Forests,
entitled; “The Effects of Off Highway Vehicles (OHVs) on the
American Marten and Northern Goshawk." Tina is responsible for
measuring exposure to OHV noise in varying habitats and analyzing
all of the acoustic data. In addition, she has recently participated
in a Killer Whale Research Cruise and will be working with Tom
Norris in an upcoming Arctic marine mammal bioacoustics survey.
She is currently a Ph. D. student in the UC Davis/San Diego State
University Joint Doctoral Ecology Program.
