Katie Morrice earned a master’s degree in marine science from Moss Landing Marine Laboratories in 2011 for her research on flows (boundary layer dynamics) and mixing in the Monterey Submarine Canyon. Last year, she was a NOAA Fisheries groundfish observer on several commercial fishing vessels in the Bering Sea.
At the Delta Science Program’s Independent Science Board, she assisted with programs related to ecosystem restoration and water-supply reliability and addressed how climate change and adaptive management can be incorporated into these programs.
