Professors

Kate Wynne is responsible for integrating marine mammal research objectives into GAPs overall goals and coordinating collaboration with marine mammal-associated collaborators. Ms Wynne continues to collaborate with state and federal biologists studying Steller sea lion, harbor seal, and cetacean populations and their interactions with fisheries in the Aleutians and Gulf of Alaska.

Robert Foy, PhD is responsible for designing, conducting, and analyzing results of the repetitive prey surveys that form the backbone of GAP's integrated predator-prey studies. He is also responsible for GAP-related laboratory analyses of prey quality being conducted with separate funding. Dr. Foy collaborates with multiple fisheries management agencies, and supplies samples and seasonal fish biomass data to numerous state, federal, and academic researchers.

Loren Buck, PhD is responsible for coordinating and integrating seabird studies into GAP's predator-prey studies and overall objectives. The seabird census and productivity data is conducted in collaboration with Migratory Bird Research, US Fish & Wildlife Service and the Alaska Maritime National Wildlife Refuge. Black-legged kittiwake eggs are being collected for the NIST-STAMP program for long-term archive and analysis of environmental toxins.

Dean Kildaw, PhD is a Research Associate whose responsibility is to design, conduct, and supervise field research related to GAP's seabird component.
