What are the age and growth parameters of Antarctic toothfish in the Amundsen and Bellingshausen sea regions?
Antarctic toothfish are highly sought after in commercial fisheries and are sold as “Chilean seabass”. While fishing for Antarctic toothfish has continued to expand, accurate life history information is pivotal to sustainable fisheries management. Inaccuracy in toothfish ageing can lead to failure in understanding population dynamics.
Ivory Jane Carpenter will present her research at the 11th SCAR Open Science Conference in Pucón, Chile in August 2024.

Effects of precipitation changes on mountain pine
beetle populations in the Arapaho Roosevelt National
Forest
Across North America, mountain pine beetle populations in pine forests are a widespread source of tree mortality. As a result of the beetles infesting and reproducing in living trees, the beetles are lethal to the living trees and have negatively impacted over 5 million hectares of forest in the western United States

Los Impactos de Pesca y Las Prácticas y Estrategías Actuales Para La Gestión Pesquera en
Chile
En un mundo donde el cambio climático está impactando al planeta de maneras
perjudiciales, es necesario que nos enfoquemos en proteger la biodiversidad de todo el mundo
para lograr el desarrollo sostenible. Mi investigación sobre las prácticas de gestión y los problemas con la
pesca comercial en Chile pueden aplicarse a los esfuerzos de otros países. Es importante que
todo el mundo proteja los ecosistemas marinos.
2023 Case Study - San Juan River
Sustainable Management and Conservation of the San Juan River
The San Juan River is home to not just human populations but also to many fish species. In the San Juan River Basin, there are nine species of native fish. I am very interested in the intersection of preserving local values while also implementing conservation measures for water and native species in addition to resilience measures against climate change. For this case study, I will examine a regional-scale scope of current management, problems, and potential solutions, where I will look at aspects of the San Juan River across Utah, Colorado, and New Mexico.
