Research Interests

As a research scientist with Columbia Basin Research, UW School of Aquatic and Fishery Sciences (SAFS), Caitlin's research interests focus on understanding underlying processes that impact the survival of anadromous fish in river and ocean habitats in the Pacific Northwest and California waterways. Through this research, she aims to support resource managers and stakeholders with accessible quantitative analysis and tools to facilitate best management practices of endangered salmonid species.
