Marine Biologist
San Diego, California
I useR to develop statistical tools for analyzing and visualizing marine biological data. As a member of the Environmental Monitoring and Technical Services section of the Public Utilities Department, I help provide database, GIS, and analytical support to a dynamic team of marine biologists. Additionally, I identify benthic marine invertebrates, specifically polychaetes, to aid in the evaluation of environmental conditions offshore.
