Amanda Wasserman earned a master’s degree in applied marine and watershed science from California State University, Monterey Bay, in 2017. During graduate school, Wasserman examined the ecology and habitat preference of nearshore marine fishes using diver-operated stereo video and geospatial technology. Upon graduation, she has been involved in the development of a fisheries management plan for Pacific herring in California, and completed an internship at the NASA Ames Research Center where she used remote sensing to contribute to a better understanding of air quality in California.
At the Delta Science Program, Wasserman helped translate complex scientific information concerning the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta to a form that can be easily understood by non-scientists like policymakers and the people who live and work around the Delta.
