Personal profile
Research
I work broadly on the biology of marine mammals, their ecology and the anthropogenic pressures they are subject to. Population biology, morphology and physiology are my primary fields of study. I am responsible for the seal monitoring programmes in Denmark and have a particular interest in grey and harbour seals.
