Biography

John Horne is a professor and director at the Cooperative Institute for Climate, Ocean, and Ecosystem Studies (CICOES) at the University of Washington. His research focuses on the impact of climate change, ocean acidification, and fisheries. He employs acoustical techniques to understand the spatial structure and abundance of aquatic organisms, using this information to inform resource management practices. John applies ecological theory to predict the relative importance of biological and physical processes in fish distribution, conducting research that spans both individual organisms and entire ecosystems. He is associated with the Quantitative Ecology Resource Management (QERM) program at the Center for Quantitative Science (QSCI) and collaborates with scientists at the NOAA Alaska Fisheries Science Center. His contributions to the field of acoustics were recognized with the Medwin Prize in Acoustical Oceanography from the Acoustical Society of America.
