I acknowledge the original inhabitants of this area, the Snohomish people, and their successors, the Tulalip Tribes for whom my research is possible. Since time immemorial, they have hunted, fished, gathered, and taken care of these lands. We respect their sovereignty, their right to self-determination, and honor their sacred spiritual connection with the land and water. We will strive to be honest about our past mistakes and bring about a future that includes their people, stories, and voices to form a more just and equitable society.

Meg was a 2022 Cascadia Research Collective intern and assisted in the auditing and processing of gray whale feeding events from tag data, as well as auditing of aerial survey and UAS imagery.
Andi volunteered with Cascadia in 2023 as she transitioned back into research after serving as a US Army officer. While she worked on a variety of Cascadia projects, she was instrumental to my 2023 field season, assisting in the collection and processing of ghost shrimp. You can learn more about her here.
Sara Mach is an Ecology major at Seattle Pacific University and graduated from Ocean Research College Academy in 2021 where she started her research on the spatial comparisons of "Sounders" gray whales in relation to the tides. She was instrumental to my 2023 field season, assisting in the collection and processing of ghost shrimp.
Julia was a junior at Salinas High School, and came to Hopkins as part of our Salinas High Mentorship Program. She helped perform a variety of tests on our lab’s most heavily used biologging devices, the CATS tag. Her tests helped us better understand the limitations and considerations of our tags and how to better configure them for different field objectives.
Allie Vann is an undergradate student at Sonoma State University who came to the Goldbogen Lab as part of CSUMB’s REU summer program. She performed an energetic analysis of ghost shrimp collected during the 2023 field season, and her support was crucial in understanding the link between gray whales and this unique prey source.
