that deliver species beyond their geographic range; the biological and ecological attributes of species in their non-native range; and global patterns of biological invasions and factors that control observed distributions. He has been involved in numerous national and international working groups dealing with nonnative species invasions, including the 141

During the same period, she led a multidisciplinary team in undertaking ballast treatment performance assessments in operating ship and shore-based contexts, including performance evaluations with respect to zooplankton, phytoplankton, and microbial organisms. Most recently she has developed harbor and ship discharge monitoring methods for detecting species risks, as well as ballast treatment verification in fresh water environments, both via the Great Ships Initiative.

His involvement with invasive species and ballast water management includes being co-chair of the Coastal Committee for the Western Regional Panel of the Aquatic Nuisance Species Task Force, a member of the Southern California Caulerpa Action Team, co-author of the federal management plan for the European Green Crab, and co-author of the California Aquatic Invasive Species Management Plan. He co-authored the Pacific State Marine Fisheries Commission workshop proceedings on Alternate Ballast Water Exchange Areas and developed a comprehensive invasive species database for the San Francisco Bay-Delta Region that focuses on the origin and likelihood ballast water transport.

Her invasion research has included empirical and mathematical approaches to studying ballast water transport, marine invasion success and impacts, and epidemiological invasion dynamics. She has contributed to both national and international invasion biology working groups, including the National Biological Invasions Shipping Study, Impacts of Invasive Species: Toward a Theoretical Framework, the Canadian Aquatic Invasive Species Network, and the Integrated Systems for Invasive Species project.
