Hi everyone!

I’m Dr Charlotte Findlay and I research #MarineMammals 🐋🦭 and the impacts to these species from exposure to human-made underwater noise with the goal of developing management solutions! 🚢🔊⬇️
And a few Spitsbergen landscape shots… 😍🧊❄️

Appreciate I did a pretty rubbish job of updating on @lmcwhin.bsky.social and I’s Svalbard WAVE project adventure to survey marine mammals in the Arctic with HX!

But I’ll make up for it with some snaps 📷 🐻‍❄️ 🐋 🦭

The WAVE team (@lmcwhin.bsky.social and I) have been deployed on Longyearbyen, Svalbard! 🐻‍❄️🐋

Starting my journey north towards the Arctic as part of the WAVE project (www.wave-arcticwhales.com) in a slightly crazy @edinburghairport.bsky.social (is half of Scotland here today?! 😂) attempting to teach myself to like matcha… 🍵 🍓 ✈️

Stay tuned for Arctic content!

Absolutely keen for that! I will need to come down and meet all the cetacean folks down there at some point! :) Hope you're doing well!

Excited to announce I am starting as an Assistant Professor at the Institute for Life and Earth Sciences at @heriotwattuni.bsky.social!

If you’re interested in collaborating on projects focusing on underwater noise impacts to marine mammals get in touch!

Yeh I use R quite a lot for data analysis and making maps but I hadn’t delved into shiny yet (and have been keen to try!) so that’s super helpful to know there are some fairly simple templates and packages to get started with! Thanks for that info ☺️
April 17, 2025 at 4:50 PM
This is super cool! I’m keen to learn how to use R shiny apps - do you have any good resources for shiny beginners??

Ever wondered why seals don't drown? New groundbreaking research from @smruecophys.bsky.social led by @chrismcknight.bsky.social published in @science.org reveals that, unlike other mammals, seals can sense blood oxygen levels.

The irony of being currently unemployed and yet being busier than I’ve been in ages is not lost on me… #Stressed #ECRchat #Science #MarineScience #MarMam 🧪🦑🐋🦭

Of course! Best option is to look on google scholar under my name: Charlotte R Findlay

But these are two of my latest papers (open access so hopefully you can download easily!):

So concludes 3.5 years of #postdoc life in Denmark with the Marine Bioacoustics Lab at @au.dk! 🇩🇰🔊🐬

What a wild acoustics ride that was with some wonderful & smart people!

Onwards to the next adventure… 🚢🔊🐋

Managed to draft a really good sentence for my paper discussion and Microsoft word decided to crash before I got the chance to save it… 🥲

Of course I can’t remember what I wrote now 😂🚫🧠

Haha I appreciate the sentiment thank you 😉 - I'd suggest you avoid the coding it'll only bring you additional headaches 🤣

A visual representation of my brain function today while trying to code something I assumed would be fairly simple...

...I was of course wrong.

Hi Vanessa!
Could I be added to the list? I communicate science on the impacts and solutions we can use to reduce underwater noise effects on marine mammals! 🐋🦭
