About me
My name is Sam Stevens and I am a sea-going oceanographer currently based in British Columbia, Canada. I am interested in understanding how and why the ocean changes and the effect of those changes on regional ecosystems. I am primarily an observational oceanographer (I've spent almost a year of my life at sea!) and where possible, I like to design and build my own inexpensive instruments to help me take measurements. I also use theory and model outputs to help me understand my observations. Currently, I am a part of the Canadian-Pacific Robotic Ocean Observing Facility (CPROOF) research team where I mostly use ocean gliders and other autonomous platforms to understand the physical processes that influence ecosystems along the northeast Pacific continental shelf.
