Shelby Bloom
Research Analyst
Shelby Bloom is a Research Analyst in the group. She earned her B.S. and M.S. degrees in marine biology at Scripps Institution of Oceanography. In her undergrad, Shelby interned with the Dolphin Cognition lab, where she assisted in and led animal training sessions of bottlenose dolphins involved in the lab’s studies. Her M.S. research coupled passive and active acoustic data with physical oceanographic observations to investigate cetacean predator-prey dynamics within the Southern California Bight. She now mostly works as a data processing specialist, processing raw passive acoustic data into audio files and long-term spectral averages for various research groups, but also continues some acoustic data analysis. Outside of the lab, you can usually find Shelby eating spicy foods down by the beach.
