Jennifer McClain-Counts
Jennifer McClain-Counts is a Biologist at the USGS Wetland and Aquatic Research Center.
Jennie McClain-Counts is a biologist and laboratory manager for the Benthic Ecology laboratory. She works with Amanda Demopoulos to examine trophic relationships, particularly using stable isotope analysis of carbon and nitrogen, and community structure of marine fauna collected in various habitats, such as wetlands, offshore wrecks and deep-sea corals.
