Dr Iain Field
Deputy Director of Marine Mammal Research Group
Iain's research interests include life history, population dynamics, movement and foraging behaviour of marine vertebrates. He is particularly interested in linking these to natural and anthropogenic environmental variation (e.g. climate change and fishing pressure)..
Dr. Rob Harcourt
Professor in the Graduate School of the Environment,
Director of Marine Science,
Director of Marine Mammal Research Group
Rob's interests include animal behaviour, ecology, and conservaiton of marine mammals, focusing on the importance of individual variation in behaviour to foraging, communication, mating tactics, life experience and human impact on marine ecosystems.
Dr. Vic Peddemors
Visiting Fellow at Graduate School of the Environment, Macquarie Univeristy
His research interests cover a wide range of marine apex predators, but have particularly focused on cetaceans and sharks. His research has covered habitats from the tropics to the Antarctic whilst researching the biology, abundance and distribution of marine predators in relation to their habitat. The impact of humans on these animals has been a long-term study interest, whether through pressures afflicted by fishing activities, or via tourism. His research has included animal behaviour, ecology and conservation.
