Introduction
Early-career researcher and ornithologist working at the intersect between marine conservation and industry. My current role? A PhD student using genetics to explore the metapopulation dynamics of the North Atlantic black-legged kittiwake.
Current institution
Additional affiliations
October 2019 - present
Puhi Peaks Station
Position
- Research Assistant
Description
- Research objectives: 1) to measure the total breeding habitat available to a Hutton's shearwater (Puffinus huttoni) colony following a major earthquake, 2) to provide estimates of population size and breeding success for the 2019/20 season and 3) to quantify long-term trends in habitat fragmentation and range contraction in the Puhi Puhi Valley.
November 2018 - April 2020
Kaikoura Ocean Research Institute
Position
- Research Assistant
Description
- Research objectives: 1) to capture trends in breeding effort and success, chick development and residency of breeding pairs and moulting adults of a little penguin (Eudyptula minor) colony, 2) to carry out coastal surveys for little penguins along the greater Kaikoura coastline with a penguin detection dog-handler team, and 3) to measure carbon dioxide and ammonia levels in artificial burrows (PBNBs) of little penguins through incubation, chick rearing and adult moult.

The identification and subsequent protection of suitable breeding habitat for little penguins (Eudyptula minor) is restricted by data deficiency across large stretches of the species range. For example, presence/absence data is lacking for much of the Canterbury coast, mainland New Zealand. In October 2019, a Protected Species Detection Dog was use...
New data on the population connectivity of seabirds are required to reduce uncertainty in population viability analyses by the incorporation of metapopulation dynamics. Here, we focus on the Atlantic black-legged kittiwake: a wide-ranging, long-lived seabird. Quantifying kittiwake population connectivity is of particular interest as the total numbe...
PhULMaR is the PhD Inter-University Lab for Marine Bird Research (British and Irish Isles).
Established in November 2023, we comprise a group of 22 postgraduate researchers studying seabirds across 15 different research organisations.
Our purpose is to connect student and postdoctoral researchers by species, topic and/or methodology, thereby ma...
Offshore wind developments are expanding across North Atlantic shelf seas. The overarching aim of this project is to improve biological realism in the evaluation of offshore windfarm impacts and to support the application and use of ecosystem science in this new era of offshore marine renewable energy.
Hutton’s shearwater (Puffinus huttoni) is a burrowing petrel endemic to the alpine zone of the Seaward Kaikōura Ranges, New Zealand. In November 2019, we accessed an understudied breeding colony at Shearwater Stream in the Puhi Peaks Nature Reserve for the first time since a Mw 7.8 earthquake struck the region in 2016. We measured population parame...
A comprehensive understanding of population connectivity in marine species is required for sustainable, ecosystem-based marine spatial planning. The black-legged kittiwake Rissa tridactyla is a conservation priority seabird of international importance. Historic analyses demonstrate that kittiwakes emigrate over short and long distances, yet there r...
Anthropogenic climate change underlies observed and predicted fluctuations in the occurrence and magnitude of marine primary production at high latitudes. The ability to explore corresponding scenarios of spatio-temporal variation in the distribution of apex predators - at the regional scale - is an important prerequisite for informing best practic...
Little penguin colonies often occur in close proximity to coastal residential areas around New Zealand. From 2012 through 2019, the Kaikoura Ocean Research Institute (KORI) has monitored a small, little-known population in Kaikoura, north Canterbury. Preliminary results indict an overall decline in breeding success which may be attributed in part t...
