Ian Areford wins Mary Alice Sageman Scholarship

Ian Areford

Congratulations to Ian Areford on winning NSU's Mary Alice Sageman Scholarship. This award, worth $1000, can be applied to his tuition and/or research expenses, and will be used to support his MS thesis project work in the Seascape Ecology Lab. Ian is working on modelling the biomass distributions of six stomiiform fishes within the Gulf of Mexico - a class of fishes that includes dragonfishes, hatchetfishes, bristlemouths, and lightfishes. By studying their distributions, we can better understand when and where these animals are most likely to be found, and in turn, the influence they will exert on their ecosystems.

Congratulations Ian!
