Dr. Kasey Pregler is a new postdoc in the #BerkeleyFreshwater group, supported by a Chancellor’s Fellowship. Kasey will be co-advised by Dr. J. Carlos Garza at NOAA-Fisheries, and will explore the potential for assisted gene flow to contribute to genetic rescue in an endangered salmon population. Welcome, Kasey!

Welcome to Emily Chen!
Emily Chen is a new grad student in the #BerkeleyFreshwater group. Emily completed her master’s thesis in the Dept. of Fisheries at Humboldt State, where she explored how Chinook salmon use the Redwood Creek lagoon, using a combination of mark-recapture and otolith microstructural analyses. For her dissertation research, Emily plans to shift her attention inland to focus on winter-run Chinook and, in particular, asking if hatchery fish are good surrogates for wild fish in management models.
Carlson Lab moves to Wellman Hall!
The group moved from Mulford Hall to Wellman Hall during Fall 2018. Everyone chipped in and helped pack up, clean up, and then unpack in the new space. This was a multi-step (multi-month?) effort, and one big step towards our goal of creating a freshwater science cluster in Wellman Hall!
Welcome to Rachael Ryan!
Rachael Ryan is a new grad student in the #BerkeleyFreshwater group, and will be co-advised by Stephanie and Ted. Rachael plans to explore the influence of climatic variation and habitat mosaics on distribution, abundance, and diversity of coho salmon in the Lagunitas Watershed, in west Marin. Stay tuned for updates!
