Staff Bios - Pelagic Invertebrates Collection

Mark D. Ohman, Professor and Curator of Pelagic Invertebrates, has research interests in the population ecology of marine zooplankton. His primary expertise concerns the population dynamics of marine planktonic copepods. He is currently working on (1) applications of inverse models to infer demographic rates in stage-structured zooplankton populations and (2) on climate change effects on zooplankton assemblages of the California Current System, utilizing the CalCOFI time series. He earned his Ph.D. in Oceanography at the University of Washington, following a M.A. in Biology at California State University, San Francisco and a B.A. in Biology at the University of California, Santa Cruz.

Annie Townsend, Museum Scientist, is a highly accomplished euphausiid taxonomist with over 30 years of experience working with these and other pelagic invertebrates. She earned a B.S. in Zoology from Alabama A&M University.
