Dr. Katie Holt Affiliate, former Graduate Student ORCID: 0000-0002-4384-2713 Dr. Holt is a marine ecologist interested in how seabirds and marine mammals respond to human-driven environmental stressors and how these responses can inform effective management actions. She earned her PhD through the Center for Ecosystem Sentinels at the University of Washington, where her research focused on seabird foraging ecology and […]
Sonia De Bary Argentina Researcher I focused my research on nest quality and orientation both of which are important predictors of reproductive success. Penguin can raise chicks in the open or with little cover but the pairs that have shady nests in bushes or burrows have higher reproductive success. I have helped the project in a variety of capacities as

Dr. Ginger Rebstock Research Scientist ORCID: 0000-0003-2697-7058 I grew up on a beach in Texas, where I swam, sailed, fished, and observed marine animals every day, so it’s only natural that I ended up studying oceanography. I received a Ph.D. in biological oceanography from Scripps Institution of Oceanography in 2001, where I was an EPA STAR (Science To Achieve Results)
Clay Gravelle Penguin Technologist Clay is a Penguin Technologist, participating in almost every project in the Center involving computers and other technology. His main role involves designing the database that houses the data from the devices that are used to collect information about penguins in the field, but he also manages projects and provides advice on the many technological innovations
Dr. Caroline Cappello Researcher ORCID: 0000-0002-2687-4019 Dr. Caroline Cappello is a quantitative wildlife ecologist studying how global change and human activities impact wildlife behavior, performance, and population dynamics. By integrating data from field studies, remote sensing, and participatory science platforms, her research aims to inform the conservation of threatened species while advancing knowledge of avian ecology and natural history. A
