United States
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDanielle Claar is a Nearshore Ecologist with nine years of experience applying statistical modeling, bioinformatics, and field-based research to assess and conserve ecosystem resilience under increasing anthropogenic stress. She combines genomic approaches with large-scale data analysis to reveal how environmental variability shapes biodiversity and coral–algal symbioses, drawing on a PhD in Biology and postdoctoral training in climate and global change. Currently at the Washington State Department of Natural Resources after roles at Hakai Institute and the University of Washington, she translates complex data into evidence-based conservation guidance and stakeholder-facing outreach. Her work spans hands-on field campaigns (including El Niño research on Kiritimati) to sophisticated modeling, enabling mechanistic insights into ecosystem dynamics. Less obvious: she pairs rigorous quantitative skills with creative science communication, having led citizen scientist programs and outreach efforts that broaden the impact of her research.
