Steven Eikenbary Associate Scientist
Mr. Steven Eikenbary is an environmental scientist with 5 years of analytical, field, and laboratory experience. He received his M.S. in environmental science from Western Washington University in 2020 and a B.S. in marine science from California State University, Monterey Bay, in 2017. Mr. Eikenbary has conducted probabilistic and quantitative analyses to determine the key contributors to risk for state and federally listed species, as well as analysis and management of large data sets. His work includes the development of Bayesian network models for probabilistic risk assessment, statistical analyses using R, and the use of ArcGIS for spatial analyses.

Mr. Steven Eikenbary is an environmental scientist with 5 years of analytical, field, and laboratory experience. He received his M.S. in environmental science from Western Washington University in 2020 and a B.S. in marine science from California State University, Monterey Bay, in 2017. Mr. Eikenbary has conducted probabilistic and quantitative analyses to determine the key contributors to risk for state and federally listed species, as well as analysis and management of large data sets. His work includes the development of Bayesian network models for probabilistic risk assessment, statistical analyses using R, and the use of ArcGIS for spatial analyses.
Mr. Eikenbary also has experience with use of Bayesian network tools for the risk assessment of synthetic biology products as vectors to control disease. He is familiar with both ecotoxicology and risk assessment from researching pelagic species decline in the upper San Francisco Estuary. As a hydrologic technician for USGS, he previously conducted fieldwork primarily to assist with the National Streamflow Network, including collecting streamflow and flood stage high water measurements, and is highly familiar with survey and level techniques. He acquired laboratory experience while researching the effects of ocean acidification and hypoxia on rockfish, including experimental setup and maintenance of day-to-day treatments. Mr. Eikenbary has experience in resource protection and drafted a multi-pronged action plan aimed at reducing vessel groundings and abandonments within the waters of the five West Coast National Marine Sanctuaries.
