Humpback whale body condition and climate change
Using drone photogrammetry and biologging to link Antarctic environmental variability to individual energetic state, growth, and reproduction in eastern Australian humpback whales.
Portfolio
Humpback whale population connectivity, movement, and biology
Documenting long-distance movements and connectivity between humpback whale populations, and long-term monitoring of the eastern Australia (E1) breeding stock.
Human impacts on cetacean behaviour and conservation policy
Quantifying the behavioural and energetic effects of whale watching, vessel traffic, and entanglement on humpback whales and other cetaceans, and translating findings into regulatory outcomes.
Dolphin population monitoring in Hawaii
Long-term monitoring of Hawaiian dolphin populations — spinner dolphins, false killer whales, and pygmy killer whales — to assess abundance, health, and the impacts of human disturbance.
