Personal profile

Research Interests

Marine mammal ecology and biology, marine mammal fisheries interactions and the functioning of marine ecosytems, relating dietary analysis to bioaccumulation, migratory patterns and oceanographic and bathymetric parameters. Also interested in marine fisheries management and ways of improving fisheries, in particular the ecosystem approach to fisheries management.

Teaching Activities

I teach on undergraduate and postgraduate programmes using a combination of lectures, practicals, fieldtrips/fieldcourses, seminars and tutorials. Currently co-ordinate three modules: ZY3015 Advanced vertebrates, ZY4016 Biology of Marine Mammals and BL6012 Marine Megafauna. Contribute to a number of other undergraduate modules and teach modules in the MSc Marine Biology including BL6013 Fisheries & Aquaculture, BL6016 Marine Ecology & Conservation and BL6014 Field skills.
