Education

My research broadly spans the field of quantitative ecology, and I have an active interest in the use of GIS and statistical methods to address pressing wildlife conservation problems, particularly in the pelagic ocean. Initially trained as a marine mammalogist (Sea Mammal Research Unit, Univ. of St Andrews), I morphed into a shark/fish biologist as a doctoral student. My work so far has focused on a range of marine taxa (fishes, sharks, turtles & cetaceans), habitats (coastal, pelagic), approaches (empirical, simulation, theoretical), scales (local, regional, global), and bioregions (temperate, tropical).
