Kate Melanson, State Fellow 2019
University Affiliation: University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC)

Kate Melanson graduated with a Ph.D. from the University of California, Santa Cruz in 2018 where she studied black abalone recovery in the northern Channel Islands and implications of their recovery as it pertains to what happens in the policy realm when two endangered species interact. During this time, she also worked closely with the Partnership for the Interdisciplinary Study of Coastal Oceans (PISCO).

Melanson will help synthesize science articles that are directly relevant to issues in the Bay-Delta region to be accessible for policy and decision makers, as well as the general public for the Delta Science Program.
