Spatial Segregation of Seabirds at South Georgia
Tracking and monitoring of seabirds e.g. wandering albatrosses and white-chinned petrels at South Georgia to support conservation.
I am a PhD student based at the University of Cambridge (Department of Zoology) and BAS. My project focusses on the role of habitat availability and preference in explaining the occurrence and abundance of albatross and petrel species in the Southern Ocean.

Tracking and monitoring of seabirds e.g. wandering albatrosses and white-chinned petrels at South Georgia to support conservation.
The overall objective of this project is to link habitat preference, at-sea activity patterns and detections from novel bird-borne radars to quantify interactions of tracked wandering albatrosses with legal and IUU fishing vessels.
Plastic pollution accumulating in international waters poses a serious risk to marine life, including a number of threatened bird species. A huge team of scientists studied the global movements of […]
