Mark R. Christie studies how fish and other aquatic species (such as salmon, sea lamprey, and marine gastropods) adapt genetically to their environments, disperse across habitats, and respond to human impacts like fisheries management, pest control efforts, and climate change. His work combines genetic/genomic analysis with ecological data to understand population connectivity, range expansion, and evolutionary responses to environmental stressors. This research is relevant to students interested in conservation genetics, fisheries science, and evolutionary biology applied to real-world management problems.

Publication output has been fairly steady to growing over the last decade, dipping in 2020 but rising again to a consistent 6-8 papers per year from 2023 onward.
