Iain Staniland

Marine Mammal Ecologist

Biography

I am a biologist with expertise in Antarctic wildlife, in particular seals, cetaceans and penguins. I have a strong field work background having spent two winters and a number of summers in the Antarctic, including quite a few under canvas. My scientific passion is in animal behaviour and my research has focused on feeding ecology; Using animal-borne telemetry devices to track the behaviour of seals and penguins whilst they are at sea. This work attempts to not only understand the behaviour of the animals themselves but also use these marine predators to monitor their underwater environment.

My recent work has looked at the behaviour of male and female seals relating observed differences to the contrasting constraints placed upon them by their life histories and morphology. I am also using new approaches to monitor the recovery of whale populations such as Satellite imagery and Passive Acoustic recorders.

I am actively engaged in public outreach with a wide range of media interviews including television, radio, print and online media. I regularly give talks to schools and and clubs ranging in ages from from 4 year olds to retirees.

My work forms part of the ECOSYSTEMS core science project.
Employment
1996 – (Current) Senior Scientific Officer – British Antarctic Survey: Antarctic Wildlife Biologist

Leading research focused on Antarctic fur seals and other higher predators. A wide range of subject areas from deployment of passive acoustic recorders, monitoring marine mammals from space, to pollution monitoring, and the use of biomarkers such as stable isotopes and fatty acids.
Field Work Experience
1996-1999 Bird Island research station South Georgia, investigating foraging, breeding and diet of Antarctic fur seals. Also working with penguin and albatross species breeding on the island. In final year I combined my science with the role of base commander running the base administration.

1999-2000 (summer) Bird Island research station, training new Assistant and working on seal biology projects.

2003-2004 Heard Island (summer), invited to join an Australian Antarctic Division expedition working on seal and penguin foraging.

2004 – Bird Island (summer), Investigating male fur seal foraging using satellite transmitters.

2005 – 2006 Cooper Bay, South Georgia (field camp) leading a project on female fur seal ecology.

2006 – 2007 Bird Island research station, using animal borne cameras on male fur seals in collaboration with American Scientists. Also participating in and assisting the filming for ‘Penguin Safari’ with Nigel Marvin

2007 (Autumn) Commander Islands, Russia, invited to join American / Russian project tagging northern fur seals

2007 – 2008 Hound Bay, South Georgia (field camp) Leading a project on female fur seal ecology and king penguin foraging.

2009-2010 Wilson Harbour (field camp) leading a project on female fur seal foraging investigating limits to their breeding distribution

2013 – 2014 Bird Island, tracking Antarctic fur seal mother-pup pairs

2015-2016 South Orkney Islands, tracking Antarctic fur seals and Penguins collaboration with Norwegian Polar Institute.
