Dan Roby is currently the Assistant Unit Leader (Wildlife) at the USGS Oregon Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit. He is also a Professor of Wildlife Ecology in the Department of Fisheries and Wildlife at Oregon State University.

He received a BA (Biology) from Antioch College in 1974, an MS (Wildlife Management) from the University of Alaska in 1978, and a PhD (Biology) from the University of Pennsylvania in 1986, where he worked under Professor Robert E. Ricklefs on the relationship of diet to reproductive energetics in seabirds.

In addition to his current position at OSU, he has held faculty positions at Southern Illinois University-Carbondale (Assistant Professor of Zoology, 1988-1992) and the University of Alaska Fairbanks (Assistant Professor of Wildlife Ecology, 1992-1995).

Dan has conducted research on the ecology of seabirds in Alaska, Hawaii, Greenland, Newfoundland, South Georgia, and Antarctica, as well as throughout the Pacific Northwest. His primary area of research interest is the physiological ecology and conservation biology of birds, with an emphasis on seabirds. His recent research includes impacts of avian predation on recovery of ESA-listed salmonids in the Columbia River Basin, bioenergetics of seabirds affected by the Exxon Valdez oil spill in Alaska, development of biomarkers of exposure to contaminants in birds, seabird/fisheries interactions, and effects of global warming on seabird populations at high latitudes, especially the Bering Sea. He served as Chair of the Pacific Seabird Group during 2004-2006.

Our Programs
INTEGRATED ECOSYSTEM PROGRAMS

Science Foundation

Research programs addressing pressing fishery management issues and Alaska marine ecosystem information needs.

Integrated Ecosystem Research

These are large-scale interdisciplinary ecosystem-based programs, requiring multiple agency coordination, collaboration, and investigation.

Outreach Program

Science communication, engagement, outreach, and education initiatives for NPRB programs.

Core
Program

A competitive, peer-reviewed annual request for proposal (RFP) process dedicated to Alaska marine research.

Graduate

Research

Awards

Supporting next generation scientists, researchers, and resource managers to further studies in marine science and to our mission.

Long-Term Monitoring

These are new or existing time-series projects that enhance the ability to understand the current state of marine ecosystems.

Examining how physical changes in the ocean influenced the flow of energy through the marine food web in the Bering Strait, Chukchi Sea, and western Beaufort Sea.

Studying the survival and recruitment of five focal groundfish species (Pacific cod, Pacific ocean perch, walleye pollock, arrowtooth flounder, sablefish) during their first year of life.

Understanding the impacts of climate change and dynamic sea ice cover on the eastern Bering Sea ecosystem in partnership with the National Science Foundation.

Northern

Bering Sea

COMING SOON! Focusing on the northern Bering Sea and will include consideration of upstream and downstream ecosystems in the southeastern Bering Sea, western Bering Sea, and Chukchi Sea.
