Evamaria Koch is an Associate Professor at Horn Point Laboratory at the University of Maryland's
Center for Environmental Science. Her areas of expertise include seagrass ecology, hydrodynamically-
mediated processes in seagrass beds and coastal plant communities in a globally-changing world.
Projects she is currently working on include the impact of coastal structures on submersed aquatic
vegetation, and habitat requirements needed to improve seagrass restoration, especially the sediment
they colonize. She is also working on conditions necessary for the successful recruitment and
establishment of seagrass seeds. She is a member of the Estuarine Research Federation, the American
Society of Limnology and Oceanography, the American Geological Union, and Sigma Xi Scientific
Research Society. She previously worked on the NRC Committee on Mitigating Shore Erosion Along
Sheltered Coasts. Dr. Koch received her Ph.D. in Marine Science from the University of South Florida.
Jennifer Miksis-Olds is a Senior Research Associate in the Applied Research Laboratory at Penn State
University. She is also an Assistant Professor in the Graduate Program in Acoustics, College of
Engineering and in Wildlife and Fisheries Sciences in the College of Agriculture. Her research employs
acoustic methodologies to answer biological questions in both the marine and terrestrial environments.
Her primary interests include animal behavior and communication, the effect of anthropogenic activities
on animals and their environment, and the development of technology to observe animals in their natural
environment. Aspects of acoustics, biology, oceanography, ecology, and engineering are combined to
create the interdisciplinary approach necessary to extend the study of animals in their natural
environment beyond where it is today. Dr. Miksis-Olds received her A.B. cum laude in Biology from
Harvard University, her M.S. in Biology from the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth, she was a guest
student at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, and then received her Ph.D. in Biological
Oceanography from the University of Rhode Island.
Bryan Pijanowski is a Professor in the Department of Forestry and Natural Resources at Purdue
University. He is interested in the impacts of land use and climate change on ecosystem services. He is
leading an effort to study the soundscape in diverse ecosystems and how natural and man-made sounds
interact. Dr. Pijanowski has numerous publications and is a member of the Global Land Project, the
American Association for the Advancement of Science, the American Association of Geographers, the
American Geophysical Union, and the International Association of Landscape Ecology. He received his
B.S. in Biology from Hope College and his Ph.D. in Zoology from Michigan State University. Presently, he
has been working on the development and application of spatial models for use in natural resource
management, and is interested in land use/cover change and climate change and how these impact
societies.
Jennifer Ruesink is an Associate Professor in the Department of Biology at the University of
Washington. Her areas of interest include marine community ecology, especially food web interactions;
species invasions; and conservation. In particular, she looks at the interactions between oysters and non-

currently a member of the Ecological Society of America, the National Shellfisheries Association, the
Coastal and Estuarine Research Federation, and the Western Society of Naturalists. She has served on
two previous NRC committees. Dr. Ruesink received her B.A. in Biology, Summa Cum Laude (Cornell
University); her M.Phil. in Botany (Cambridge University, England); and her Ph.D. in Zoology (University

Charles Simenstad is a Research Professor at the School of Aquatic and Fishery Sciences, University of
Washington. He studies shallow-water community and food web structure, and restoration ecology, of
estuarine and coastal marine ecosystems along the Pacific Northwest coast, from San Francisco Bay, the
Oregon and Washington coasts, Puget Sound, and Alaska. Ecosystems that have especially attracted his
interests include: coastal marshes, mudflats and eelgrass of Pacific Northwest estuaries; nearshore, kelp-
dominated shores of the Aleutian Islands, Alaska; and San Francisco Bay-Delta. Since 1990, he has
been particularly dedicated to coordinating the Wetland Ecosystem Team (WET), a small team of
research scientists, educators, and graduate students that conducts both basic and applied research on
these topics. Current research initiatives include: leading WET's CALFED research on tidal freshwater
wetland restoration patterns and rates in the Sacramento-San Joaquin rivers delta (BREACH studies);

evaluating the importance of estuarine life history diversity of juvenile Pacific salmon in population
resilience and recovery, and the potential role of estuarine habitat restoration in increasing life history
diversity; restoration of natural ecosystem processes as a sustainable approach to recovery of
endangered salmon; and the practical application of landscape ecology concepts and quantitative metrics
to planning and implementing coastal ecosystem restoration. Much of Simenstad's concentration is
presently focused on strategic planning restoration of nearshore ecosystems in Puget Sound under the
Puget Sound Nearshore Ecosystem Restoration Project (PSNERP), under which he chairs the Nearshore
Science Team (NST). Simenstad previously served on the NRC Committee on Mitigating Wetland
Losses.

Chair in Zoology since 2005. His current research aims to assess how natural and anthropogenic
environmental variations influence the behavior, physiology, and dynamics of marine mammal and
seabird populations. These questions have been approached by conducting long-term and comparative
studies of key populations such as dolphins, harbor seals, and seabirds. He became a Fellow of the
Royal Society of Edinburgh in 2011, and is currently a member of the Marine Scotland Science Advisory
Board. Professor Thompson previously served on the NRC study Best Practices for Shellfish Mariculture
