Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRyan Morse is a research scientist and fisheries oceanographer with nine years of post-PhD experience applying quantitative tools to marine ecosystems from Narragansett, RI. He develops ecosystem-scale models and practical tools to quantify aquaculture ecosystem services—nutrient removal and habitat provisioning—while also building species distribution models and contributing to the NEUS Atlantis end-to-end ecosystem model. His background in plankton ecology and regime-shift detection informs work linking plankton dynamics to shifting fish and plankton distributions across regional scales. Ryan has blended academic and government research roles at NOAA and universities with consulting science at CASE, demonstrating an ability to translate complex model outputs into management-relevant insights. He holds a PhD in oceanography and a BS in marine science, and brings both field- and model-focused perspectives to ecosystem-based fisheries science. An underappreciated strength is his consistent focus on operationalizing research—turning ecosystem models into decision-support tools for aquaculture and fisheries management.
