Dr. Lysel Garavelli owns a PhD in biological oceanography and is an Earth scientist in the Coastal Sciences Division at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory in Seattle, Washington. Lysel is the team lead of the Ocean Energy and Ecosystem Modeling team in the Coastal Sciences Division. Her research focuses on the effects of anthropogenic activities on the marine environment. Particularly, she works across several scientific disciplines to determine the implications of fisheries and ocean energy development on marine resources. Lysel is the project manager of Ocean Energy Systems (OES)-Environmental – an international project on the environmental effects of marine renewable energy development that shares environmental effects information to benefit from progress made around the world, under the International Energy Agency Ocean Energy Systems. She also plays a lead role in several projects aiming at identifying the opportunities for marine renewable energy to power aquaculture.

• Larval connectivity and population dynamics of marine resources
• Environmental effects of marine energy and offshore wind
• Interactions of fisheries and offshore wind
• Co-location of marine uses

• Biological oceanography
• Marine biology and ecology
