PNNL

Dr. Lysel Garavelli is a Research Scientist in the Ecology Group at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. She joined PNNL in August 2017 as Postdoctoral Research Associate. She previously worked in Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institute (Florida Atlantic University) as Postdoctoral Researcher from 2014 to 2017.

Her research focuses on the development of monitoring and modeling techniques to study the larval connectivity and population dynamics of marine and freshwater species and how it relates to their management and conservation. She is particularly interested in understanding the effects of anthropogenic factors on the environment such as fisheries and renewable energy. Recently, she incorporated machine learning techniques into her research to assess fish habitat suitability and analyze ichthyoplankton distribution data collected in situ.

Dr. Garavelli serves on the editorial board of Marine and Coastal Fisheries.
