I am an ecologist and my research interests lie in the field of spatial and trophic ecology of animals. My research focus is foraging ecology of marine animals and influences of marine resource limitations on arctic and subarctic ecosystems. My research also includes studies on stress associated with disturbance and risk behaviour of long-distance migratory animals. My current work at the ministry involves marine spatial planning, setting legal framework for MPAs and OECMs and advising on marine resource use in relation to international agreements such as UN Convention on Biological Diversity.

I just finished my PhD on seabird vocal behaviour. What interests me most is how and why animals communicate, what information is carried by their vocal signals, and what happens to this signal over time, emotional situations, and propagation distance.

Joanne is a seabird ecologist who specialises in using tracking data to understand behaviours and identify potential conservation threats. After completing her doctorate on the foraging and migratory behaviours of arctic terns and Eurasian oystercatchers at the University of Exeter, she joined the BirdLife Marine Science Team. There Joanne has been using seabird tracking data from across the world to identify marine flyways to inform ocean basin scale conservation.

I work on a range of offshore wind focused seabird tracking projects with the aim of understanding the potential impacts of these developments on UK seabird populations. When I'm not report writing, or conducting stats, I'm fortunate to get to spend my time conducting fieldwork, whether that be tracking tiny European storm petrels or the much (much) larger Northern gannet! I'm also very active in the research of Pterodroma petrels and other seabirds on Round Island (Mauritius), and the wider Indian Ocean, following the completion of my PhD.

My research focuses on anthropogenic impacts on seabirds, primarily chemical and physical pollutants (eg. Plastics)

I started my career off on tropical Chrstimas Island (Master thesis), followed by a detour to the Falkland Islands (PhD) and Antarctica (post-doc), and have now finally landed in the North Atlantic. Boobies, tropicbirds, penguins and petrels as study species have thus been shifted out with auks, gulls, fulmars and shags. My current work is focused on applied seabird research, mostly on spatial overlap between human interests and seabirds, e.g. offshore oil, gas and wind development, kelp harvesting in the coastal zone, but also plastics in seabirds. During spring and summer, I am busy doing fieldwork on Sklinna, central Norway as part of the SEAPOP pogramme.

I have been working in sea bird research in a few different projects. For example: I have been modelling sea bird distribution and abundance for a research institute and a consultancy, my PhD was on geomagnetic bird navigation, and I have been involved in field work on sea birds including logger deployment, ringing etc.

I recently graduated from a master's program at Memorial University of Newfoundland where I studied population structure and philopatry in Atlantic Puffins using RAD Sequencing techniques, a project that I developed from the ground up. Before that I worked with a variety of other seabirds over the course of my 10+ year career, including Common Murre and Caspian Terns.

Works in seabird research since 1979, as full-time researcher since 1985 to present. Between 1992-1999 as General Director in Mexico's federal government environmental sector. Focuses in seabird breeding-feeding ecology and conservation, mainly in the Gulf of California and Gulf of Mexico, generating long-time series of biological parameters to support demographic and ecosystem models for management decisions. Has published about 60 scientific papers and book chapters, 30 public education articles and chapters, and is coauthor of 3 public education books. Has been advisor in several undergraduate and graduate thesis. Has been advisor for several Mexican government environmental agencies and international NGOs.

I am a professor studying avian responses to habitat and climate change. One aspect of my research looks at individual movements of lesser black-backed gulls, as they carry out their lifecycle. All ages (even first-winter birds) embark on long-distance exploration, more than the research community has previously appreciated, and this exploration provides a mechanism for them to alter their ranges as habitat or climate changes.

Regina has been with Environment and Climate Change Canada since 2010 providing extensive support and technical expertise to projects on seabirds, landbirds, shorebirds, waterfowl, and species at risk - from murres (turrs) to eiders, geese to snow buntings. Regina has worked tirelessly to build strong relationships with Indigenous communities in Labrador, has been heavily involved in supporting Indigenous partners in delivering Indigenous-led research projects related to migratory birds.

I research social behaviour and individual recognition of Atlantic puffins.
