Honorary Research Fellow

After completing my PhD on the ecology of baleen whales using stable isotope analysis and persistent organochlorine pollutants, my interests broadened to include acoustic and visual cetacean surveys. I am interested in understanding cetacean migrations through non-invasive means and in generating baseline data on the historical distribution and occurence of cetaceans, e.g. from whaling records. My recent research also focuses on ethics in marine mammal science.
