Excited to share our new paper in #AnimalBiotelemetry @springernature.com!
We classified killer whale tracks into five movement modes using movement metrics and absolute space use, revealing finer-scale behaviour and insights into how they use space along the Norwegian coast 🐋🛰️🧪 tinyurl.com/y8a3wdmy

Characterizing movement patterns of killer whales along the Norwegian coast - Animal Biotelemetry

Background There has been ever-growing research fitting movement models to marine mammal satellite tracking data in recent years, yet little focus on methods attempting to go beyond individual restric...

🚨 Our new preprint!
*Cascading mass loss of Antarctic ice shelves triggered by iceberg collisions*

🔗 doi.org/10.22541/essoar.175285257.77669558/v1

In 2021, giant icebergs hit Dronning Maud Land ice shelves in #Antarctica, causing a chain reaction of calving & major regional ice-shelf area loss. 💥

Cascading mass loss of Antarctic ice shelves triggered by iceberg collisions

Iceberg calving accounts for about half of Antarctic ice-shelf mass loss. We used satellite imagery to analyze annual ice-shelf front changes and major calving events over eight years from austral sum...

Can’t believe I was interviewed about my winning photo in the @nature.com contest on @npr.org’s All Things Considered!
I grew up listening to this show, so it feels incredibly surreal to be on it.

Excited to be at @bioprotectproject.bsky.social 1st annual meeting in Reykjavík!
Great to hear updates from all the work packages and demo sites all working to protect & restore marine ecosystems & biodiversity🐋🌍🧪🐟
We even got a taste of some typisk Iceland—horses, thermal pools, and lots of rain!
