Biography

Julie Keister is a professor and oceanographer focused on the impact of climate-driven changes on the marine environment and zooplankton. Her research employs a multifaceted approach that integrates field studies, laboratory experiments, and remote-sensing data. Julie is particularly interested in how large-scale changes in ocean circulation influence the distribution of zooplankton. She also investigates how ocean acidification affects the early life stages of zooplankton and how low oxygen environments (hypoxia) impact the trophic linkages between fish and zooplankton within the Pacific Northwest food webs.
