Elizabeth Brusati

I joined Cal-IPC in 2004 after finishing a Ph.D. in Ecology, with an emphasis in Marine Ecology, at UC Davis, where I compared how native cordgrass and invasive hybrid cordgrass affect salt marsh invertebrates in northern California estuaries. I received a Canon National Parks Scholarship for my fieldwork at Point Reyes National Seashore. I also hold an M.S. from Texas A&M University and a B.S. from UC Davis, both in wildlife biology. My research experience has moved down the food web from raptors to shorebirds to intertidal invertebrates and now plants.

I am the Northern California representative to the Western Chapter of the Society of Wetland Scientists.
