FORAGING ECOLOGY AND PHYSIOLOGY OF LEOPARD SEALS

I am working with a team of researchers on an NSF-funded project studying the feeding behavior, ecology, and physiology of an Antarctic top predator, the leopard seal. Our team is made up of researchers from the University of California, Santa Cruz, Sonoma State University, Colorado State University, Baylor University, and the US AMLR program. We completed our first field season in Cape Shirreff, Antarctica in April – May 2018, and we are preparing for our second field season in 2019. You can read more about our work here.
