ActiveCasey is a postdoctoral scholar studying the impacts of human activity and climate change on marine biodiversity. His work examines the intersection of anthropogenic stressors with the ranges of species affected by those stressors to understand spatial patterns of human impact, to help inform effective marine conservation. As a data scientist, Casey strives to incorporate best practices of reproducibility and open science in his research.
Melanie collects, analyzes, and visualizes data for several global projects at NCEAS including the Ocean Health Index, cumulative human impact on global oceans, and footprint and costs of food.
