Profile

Seabirds are a sentinel species giving us critical clues to understanding the health and dynamics of the whole marine ecosystem.

Within the marine science programme in the Indian Ocean Region, I focus on understanding how seabird behaviour responds to environmental and anthropogenic drivers.

Understanding how wildlife responds to anthropogenic impacts is critical to better ensuring their conservation. Small shifts in behaviour can have lasting consequences in individual fitness.
