Background

Joshua holds a BSc(Hons) in marine biology and a PhD in marine bioacoustics and animal behaviour. My main research interests focus on marine mammal behaviour, behavioural ecology, bioacoustics and assessment of human impacts. Research interest and experience ranges from developing passive acoustic methodology for coastal endemic dolphin species, song function in humpback whales, using spatial modelling and GIS for identification of critical habitat of marine fauna and risk assessments of ship strike and ship noise to marine fauna.

As Australian shipping grows, how can we avoid collisions with marine animals?
  • ship strike risk
  • vessel strike
  • large marine fauna
  • whales
  • cetaceans
