Activity summary

I am a physical geographer and GIS expert with a strong focus on species distribution modelling and its applications in conservation and spatial planning. My research primarily uses seabirds as indicators of global change, spanning topics such as at-sea behaviour, fisheries bycatch, climate change impacts, marine conservation, and animal tracking.
