THE STURROCK LAB

PRESS, IMAGES, OUTREACH

Here I'm showing a few of my presentations and some random photos. Feel free to use and share, but please contact me if you're not sure how to reference them or would like them as a powerpoint (i.e. with animations). Thanks!

Film made at the FSBI 2024 Symposium that we ran at the University of Essex	Salmon hatchery blog CA water blog about our study examining trucking of hatchery fish increasing distances downstream to avoid degraded waterways	UK seafood mismatch Chatting on the BBC news about student's new research showing the growing mismatch between what we catch and what eat in the UK
Vital effects in otolith chemistry Talk presented at ICES and the World Fisheries Congress meetings in 2012 describing my PhD work examining the main drivers of otolith element chemistry in marine fishes	Hanging by a Thread Artist-Scientist Collaboration between me and Tamar Assaf showing her beautiful interpretation of my research and the fragility of salmon in the California Central Valley	Salmon migration blog CA water blog about the surprising diversity in habitats used by juvenile endangered winter run Chinook salmon
Sacbee article	Salmon Festival Public education at the Stanislaus River Salmon Festival 2017 in Knights Ferry, CA. So much fun talking to all the kids!	Life history portfolios The image shows two rotary screw traps in the Stanislaus River. I gave the linked presentation at the Bay Delta Science Conference in 2014, examining the relative success of different juvenile strategies (i.e. observed in these traps vs. those reconstructed in the returning adults) in a wet and dry year. See also the PLoS ONE paper under "Publications".
Life history diversity The linked talk is a follow up to my Bay-Delta Science Conference talk examining juvenile salmon migration, life history diversity and survival using rotary screw trap data and otolith reconstructions. I presented this talk at the American Fisheries Society meeting in Oregon in 2015. Image credit: old.streamnet.org/SLCsmolts.html	Agile gibbon acoustics In 2004 my (now) husband and I went to Borneo to research geographic dialect in the great call of the agile gibbon (Hylobates agilis)	Humpback acoustics In 2004 I was a volunteer for the Humpback whale Acoustic Research Collaboration (HARC) investigating the behavior and song patterns of humpbacks migrating past the coast of Queensland, Australia
Bioindicators For my undergraduate honors project I examined spatial patterns in the occurrence of imposex in dog whelks as a bioindicator of tributyltin pollution.	LLNL article	Plaice otolith microchemistry Poster on my PhD experiment investigating physiological influences on otolith chemistry, presented at the International Flatfish Symposium in the Netherlands in 2011.
Fiordland, NZ I was lucky enough to do a lot of diving in Fiordland (New Zealand) for my MSc research and working with the Department of Conservation. My mentor at the University of Otago (Steve Wing) and many of his students and colleagues have carried out pioneering research in these unique habitats	Completely unrelated to my research, here I am serenading a "rehabilitated" orangutan and her offspring at Tanjung Puting, Borneo. The pair were far more interested in the food behind me than my playing....	Last sample of the day! Water sampling in the stunning Yuba River with my dad
Water sampling with Bruce Our gorgeous old dog is always a great companion in the field	Out on a clam hunt Out in the delta looking for clams with my boss and friend, Rachel Johnson. (Their shell provides a neat time series to test the stability of the water chemistry over time)
