Clapham
NOAA Alaska Fisheries Science Center

Dr. Phil Clapham is the leader of the Cetacean Assessment and Ecology Program at the National Marine Mammal Lab in Seattle. His work focuses on population biology, behavioral ecology and conservation management, with particular emphasis on large whales. He has studied cetaceans since 1980, and at one time or another has worked with most species of whales in various places worldwide.

Prior to his current position, he worked at the Northeast Fisheries Science Center in Woods Hole, Massachusetts. He remains associated with the Smithsonian Institution (National Museum of Natural History) in Washington DC, and for many years directed a long-term study of individually identified humpback whales at the Center for Coastal Studies in Massachusetts.

Phil holds a PhD in zoology from the University of Aberdeen (Scotland), and has advised several governments and other bodies on whale research and conservation. Phil is a former member of the Board of Governors of the Society for Marine Mammalogy, and is a long-time member of the US delegation to the International Whaling Commission’s Scientific Committee. He is an editor for two scientific journals (Biology Letters and Mammal Review), and has published four books and more than a hundred peer-reviewed papers on whales and other cetaceans.

NOAA Alaska Fisheries Science Center

Kerim Aydin is the Supervisory Research Fishery Biologist of the Resource Ecology and Ecosystem Modeling Program, Alaska Fisheries Science Center. His current research is focused on modeling predator/prey interactions, both from an individual behavioral standpoint and from a population (food web model) standpoint, on developing data collection techniques for examining marine food webs (e.g. , diet studies and stable isotope examinations of fish communities), and on applying these models in a fisheries management context. He is particularly interested in the stability and complexity of large marine food webs and how structural elements of marine food webs evolve in response to climate variation. He received his PhD in 2000 from the University of Washington School of Aquatic and Fishery Sciences

Alaska Ocean Observing System and Axiom Consulting and Design have teamed up to provide data management services for the Gulf of Alaska Project. They have established a private electronic workspace to facilitate data sharing among the scientists working on the project. They also plan to launch a public website where metadata will be shared in order to facilitate collaboration with others working in the Gulf of Alaska.  The team is helping the scientists to organize their data, author metadata, and create a permanent data archive.  To read the full statement of work for this project, click here.
