About me

David Ebert is the program manager for the Pacific Shark Research Center (PSRC) located at Moss Landing Marine Laboratories (MLML) and a research faculty member at MLML. The PSRC is the west coast branch of the National Shark Research Consortium, a coalition of four major shark research organizations working in cooperation with the National Marine Fisheries Service. Over the past six years Dr. Ebert has developed a very ambitious research program at the PSRC/MLML and one that now conducts global research on the biology, ecology, and systematics of chondrichthyan fishes. Since its inception in 2002 Dr. Ebert has managed the day to day operations of the PSRC, advised graduate students, and managed numerous research grants. He has advised and mentored approximately 24 PSRC graduate students during this time with 14 having completed their degrees. Dr. Ebert in the past six years has published more than 50 papers, 70 IUCN Shark Specialist Red List Species Assessments, attended 38 conferences where in collaboration with his students has presented 113 papers, and co-organized an international symposium on the biology of skates.
