SHORT BIO
I am currently a post-doc marine ecologist and spatial analyst at the British Antarctic Survey. I specialise in the analysis of spatial data, specifically analysing telemetry data from seabirds, and investigating spatial interactions between seabirds and anthropogenic activities. The current projects I am working on include; creating habitat models to predict the at-sea distribution of penguins from untracked colonies, quantifying the overlap between penguins and the commercial krill fishery in Antarctica, developing a risk-assessment to characterise the scale at which krill catch limits should be set, and their optimal location to avoid negative impacts on krill-dependent predators, and conducting analyses of flying seabird distributions using data collected from ship surveys. During my time at BAS I have been fortunate to visit the South Shetland Islands, and study chinstrap penguins. We deployed GPSs and time-depth recorders on 100 chinstrap penguins to understand more about their complex foraging behaviours. My research experience to-date has given me expertise in seabird ecology, handling, tracking, data management and a diversity of statistical methods, including detailed analyses of spatial and behavioural data.
