Our first polar bear paper from the EMR is out! 🐻‍❄️In it we share the approach we’ve been taking and how it could be used to expand community-based polar bear research in the North. So proud to work with these co-authors on my first first author paper! facetsjournal.com/doi/10.1139/fa…

🚨New on the blog🚨 "Wind, sea and songs: tracking whale movements using bioacoustics in Monterey Bay, California" Will Oestreich (Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute) tells us how to harness the power of sound to track whales underwater 🔊🐋🎶 ➡️besmovesig.wordpress.com/2023/08/04/win…

We are looking for a PhD student, to work on statistical models for animal movement and fisheries science! Feel free to email/DM me if you're interested or have any questions (either about the project or about life in Halifax).

🎺New MSc position open in my #ecotoxicology lab! Looking for someone to work on energy budget models for #marinemammals and impacts of human disturbance. Fully funded and collaboration opportunities! Experience with models or computational biology a must. Get in touch!

Thanks for having us 🙃
