Satellite tracking technology reveals the massive ranges of breeding areas of humpback whales in the Pacific Ocean.
My research interests have evolved from a strict focus on the ecology of coral reefs to paleontological investigations of the evolution of Caribbean marine ecosystems in response to environmental change and finally towards elucidating the causes and consequences of past and ongoing human...
