Research Expertise
Ben is a researcher who has worked for over twenty years on the ecology of marine mammals, fish and birds in relation to offshore industrial activities. He currently focusses on the interactions between large marine animals and energy structures (wind, wave, tidal-stream, oil and gas devices).
His research aims to understand the interactions enough to develop effective monitoring and mitigation tools that will facilitate regulators to take appropriate consenting decisions and industry to reduce their impacts. Learning what marine vertebrates actually do in the sea and how their behaviour is adapted to their prey, competitors, predators and habitats is of key importance. His research seeks to bridge the gaps between biology, oceanography and engineering and this work has taken him to many different coastal seas with southeast Alaska and the west of Scotland being among his favourites.
He leads the University of the Highlands and Island’s energy related research.
