ANTARCTIC BLOG: The many “hats” of a polar scientist
Life on Signy Island has been pretty hectic for the last couple of weeks with multiple ship visits, saying goodbye to old colleagues, welcoming new base personnel and, in between, […]
I studied BSc (Hons.) Biology at Queen Mary, University in London, graduating in 2013, and for my dissertation project investigated the feasibility of utilising Geographic Profiling to reduce illegal rhino poaching by targeting poaching patrols.
Following this I studied MSc Applied Ecology and Conservation at University of East Anglia, graduating in 2014. I investigated spatial and temporal variation in insect prey of the European Roller (Coracias garrulus) in Southern France.
My PhD project is investigating the effects of climate change on interactions among three Antarctic penguin species (Gentoo, Chinstrap & Adélie), specifically focusing on populations at Signy Island, South Orkney Islands
