Dr. Powell's research focuses on avian ecology and conservation, and she has a background in endangered and threatened species and coastal wetland ecology. Before moving to the Florida Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit, Dr. Powell spent 15 years in Alaska working on issues ranging from impacts of environmental change on shorebirds and seaducks to impacts of expanding populations of gulls and ravens on species of conservation concern. Her research interests include migratory connectivity and full life cycle biology of birds.
