To reconstruct the record of Quaternary sea-level changes within the South Shetland Islands To use a suite of new technological tools to measure the underwater behavior of the whales and better understand how they exploit the sea-ice habitat. The objectives of this work are 1) to quantify and understand interactions between krill, krill predators (e.g., penguins and seals), and the Antarctic krill fishery; 2) to estimate krill flux through and standing biomass in areas where krill, predators, and the fishery overlap in space and time; and 3) to identify sustainable harvest strategies for the krill fishery.

Investigate the ability of the leopard seal, an apex predator, to cope with a changing environment using two complementary research themes that integrates cells to ecosystems. To quantiatively document macroalgal communities at multiple sites between Anvers and Adelaide islands using a combination of diving, video surveys, and algal collections.

This project has two goals. The first is to investigate the responses of Antarctic krill Euphasia superba to flow and chemical stimuli indicating food and predation risk, the interaction of these cues, and how krill responses to these cues depend on the photic environment. This project will will determine threshold responses, the ability of krill to orient to horizontal and vertical flows, whether chemical cues polarize responses to flow and whether this differs with attractive vs. aversive cues, and how these responses are affected by light intensity.
