Expertise: Managing natural resources in the ocean; ecological effects of environmental stressors, such as ocean acidification and habitat loss; how rocky intertidal communities respond to and recover from disturbance
Terrie Klinger is a professor and co-director of the Washington Ocean Acidification Center. She is a marine ecologist who focuses on applying ecological theory to practical management solutions. She works on ecosystem-based approaches to manage natural resources in the ocean, understanding the ecological effects of environmental stressors, such as ocean acidification and habitat loss, and how rocky intertidal communities respond to and recover from disturbance. The Pacific Northwest is her primary study area, including the Puget Sound, the San Juan Archipelago, and the outer coast of Washington, and she maintains a time-series of ecological data at a site in the Gulf of Alaska.
