Research areas
I have broad interests in foraging and diving behaviour of marine mammals, and the physiological constraints underlying this. I am keen to apply my work wherever possible toward conservation biology, and have worked on introduced pest species, the effect of anthropogenic sounds, contaminants, and the development of marine protected areas.
