SFU News story that covers our new paper on coho salmon declines in the North and Central Coast of BC. www.sfu.ca/sfunews/stor...

Check out our new paper on downscaling the safe operating space approach to understand impacts from cumulative effects and climate change for salmon watersheds

New paper highlighting the complex landscape of cumulative effects policies for Pacific salmon. Nice job @ulaskimarta.bsky.social

New paper out in @cjfas.bsky.social on coho salmon on the North and Central Coast of B.C. (open access). Using fisheries risk assessment to inform precautionary and collaborative management in a declining coho salmon fishery cdnsciencepub.com/doi/full/10.... #fish #salmon #fisheries #oceans

I've now been an assistant professor at SFU for a year now! It's been an exciting but busy time - glad to see the research lab coming along. Balancing all the demands across teaching, research, and service can be hard at times but very rewarding as well. Still lots to learn! #newPI #academia

Yes please! As a new PI, I am finding that my time is too easily soaked up in administrative busy work and meetings about meetings.

We are still recruiting a PhD student for this awesome position on Pacific salmon collaborating with Heiltsuk First Nation, the Wild Salmon Center, and Hakai Institute. If interested, let me know if you have any questions.

Here is a bioRxiv link to our draft paper on long-term changes in coho salmon population dynamics in the North & Central Coast of British Columbia.

Deadline for this PhD application for an exciting and collaborative project is coming up on February 21st.

#Postdoc opportunity with us here at SFU REM in the Fisheries Management Lab. The Postdoc will focus on understanding social-ecological traps in #salmon hatcheries. Diverse research partners, approaches, and datasets. See attached for application details. Please share widely. #fisheries

Absolutely awful to hear the news coming out re: US federal agency workers and freeze on US federal grants. These executive orders impact some great people that are doing important jobs that really benefit society. Unfortunate to see the (yet again) wild decisions from the Trump White House.

Another PhD opportunity in our lab. We seek a PhD student applicant to study how ocean and freshwater changes affect Pacific salmon in the Central Coast. Partners include: Heiltsuk First Nation, the Wild Salmon Center, and Hakai Institute. See attached advertisement. Please circulate widely!

Merry Xmas eve, eve! We are looking for a PhD student applicant interested in working on Pacific salmon, quantitative ecology, and collaborative fisheries management with the Central Coast First Nations. See attached advertisement. Please circulate widely!

Yesterday our new #globalsharktrends paper came out in @science.org @nickdulvy.bsky.social did a great thread on the paper and included some GIFs that we had made but they did not play here on @bsky.app I'm hoping this now works. Status change through time... science.org/doi/10.1126/...

End of my first semester at SFU. Was a bit of a grind at times (most of the time?) but glad to have some time back to pick up some research again! #newPI

I'm aiming to develop a lab handbook next semester to provide a resource on field and lab safety training, research expectations, funding and scholarship opportunities, EDI measures, managing collaborations, etc. Any tips or resources folks want to share would be most helpful! #newPI

NSERC Discovery Grant: submitted. #NewPI #academia

Long weekend? Long weekend trying to defeat my NSERC Discovery Grant. I think it is defeating me. #NewPI #academia #AcademicSky

In a recent paper, we tested the idea that Gulf of Mexico Bluefin Tuna mature and spawn at later ages than the Mediterranean. In general, we found similar patterns between populations but tremendous variation among individuals. authors.elsevier.com/c/1jRozbiU21... #fish #fisheries #oceans
