Meet Katie Murra. Katie is a candidate for an M.S. degree in Marine Biology through the School of Fisheries and Ocean Sciences (SFOS) in Fairbanks, AK. She is studying productivity (reproductive performance), diet, and parental effort and forage patterns (radio telemetry) of black-legged kittiwakes in Kodiak, AK. Katie looks forward to her third field season in Kodiak where she will help with the seabird component of GAP as well as finish data analysis from the 2001 and 2002 field seasons and write her M.S. thesis. She expects to graduate in December 2003 and celebrate at the Pacific Seabird Group meeting in La Paz, Mexico in January 2004! Katie welcomes questions regarding her project and can be reached via email at ftkam@uaf.edu, or by phoning the Fish-Tech Center and asking to speak with the loud grad student.
