Contact

Ros works as a Research Ecologist supporting the fieldwork, analysis and reporting work on the Wetland & Marine Research Team.

Interests & Responsibilities

Ros has a strong background in field ornithology, working on research projects studying seabirds, waders and passerines within multiple flyways.  She has an 'A' ringing permit with training endorsement, and strong experience with various avian digital tracking technologies/techniques.  These skills make her ideal for running, or supporting other, tracking studies.

Her main research interests are around the effects of anthropogenic habit change and trophic level imbalance on K-selected avian species.  This interest fits perfectly with the predominant work of the Wetland & Marine Research Team, around the effect of offshore marine renewables on seabirds.  It also fits well with the external ringing groups she volunteers regularly with (SCAN & Wash Wader Ringing Group), who conduct long-term monitoring of waders on the west and east coasts of Britain.

Qualifications

BSc (Hons) Zoology with Animal Behaviour, Bangor University, 2011-2014
