The Beltran Lab studies species interactions and global change in the open ocean, through the lens of marine mammal movement, behavior, and demography. Most research leverages the six-decade mark-recapture program of northern elephant seals at Año Nuevo in California along with environmental and biologging data to understand the role of among-individual variation in ecological patterns and evolutionary processes. Roxanne’s lab group integrates research with education activities to foster a highly collaborative community of undergraduate and graduate students, technicians, and postdoctoral researchers. She also advocates for diversity, equity, and inclusion in STEM - particularly in field settings - by undertaking and implementing research on education equity.
