Biography
Heidi is a quantitative and applied ecologist working mainly on marine ecological energetics, ecogeochemistry, and food web dynamics. Heidi employs biochemical tracer techniques (lipid/fatty acids, stable isotopes and trace-metals), ecological and metabolic theory, and various numerical modelling approaches to better understand how marine organisms respond to natural variability and human pressures at multiple biological (individual to ecosystem), temporal (days to decades) and spatial (local to landscape) scales.
Other Interests
I'm currently very interested in improving how we as research scientist (i) design food web studies and (ii) use nutritional data on seafood to inform human health, ecosystem based management and provenance.
