Carolyn Kurle - PhD Student

I have a Master’s Degree in Wildlife and Fisheries Biology from Texas A&M University(1996-98) and undergraduate degrees in Zoology and German Literature from the University of Washington in Seattle (1990-1994). I spent several years as a research scientist for the Alaska Ecosystem Program at the National Marine Mammal Laboratory in Seattle, and my work focused primarily on studying the feeding ecology of northern fur seals and Steller sea lions in Alaskan waters using stable isotope and fatty acid signature methodology. My return to school in 2001 was motivated by a desire to ask different scientific questions, become more educated in ecological and evolutionary theory and practice, and expand my work on applied habitat and wildlife conservation.


My Ph.D. project is somewhat of a departure from my past work and includes studying the effects of introduced mammalian predators on intertidal communities on islands.
