My research interests are broad-scale and trophic Ecology, Quantitative Biology and Conservation. For my doctoral research, I am estimating Southern Ocean predator distributions and what environmental factors drive their dispersal, with a goal of analysing and informing conservation proposals in East Antarctica. I primarily work with large and open access data sets, to build broad-scale population models.
