Personal profile
Research interests
The Lynch Lab is focused on applying quantitative methods to pressing questions in ecology and conservation biology in Antarctica.
Central to my lab’s research activities are our efforts to understand the dynamics of Antarctic wildlife, primarily but not exclusively Antarctic penguins, in the face of climate change, fishing, and tourism.
