Dr Rachel P Hickcox
Spatial ecologist & conservation biologist specialising in marine movement tracking and species distribution modelling.
I aim to bridge field-based research with analytical approaches to better understand how animal movement and how species interact with their environment, particularly of penguins and other marine predators in Aotearoa New Zealand and Antarctica.
