Julian has extensive experience with Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS), both rotor and fixed wing hybrid (VTOL), gained working on projects that included investigating the distribution of dugongs, body condition of humpback and right whales and collecting expelled breath (snot) from dolphins for DNA analysis. In collaboration with Murdoch University, Western Australia, Duke University Marine Lab and North Carolina State University in the United States, his project investigated the abundance and survival rates, important habitats and the exposure of spinner dolphins (Stenella longirostris) to human activities in Hawaii, recommending approaches to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to manage human interactions with the spinner dolphins in their important resting habitats. Julian is a marine scientist with a passion for marine conservation, and a particular interest in behavioral and population ecology, identifying important marine habitats and informing on appropriate management approaches.Īfter gaining a BSc (Hons), in marine science at Murdoch University, Western Australia looking at the relationship between habitat characteristics and tool use in bottlenose dolphins in Shark Bay, Western Australia, Julian went on to pursue his PhD.
