Effects of spatial and temporal variation in marine productivity on energy acquisition in southern elephant seals (Mirounga leonina) (Post-Doctorate)

This study is investigating the links between the foraging performance of southern elephant seals and a range of oceanographic parameters. These data are a crucial component in understanding how Antarctic predators will respond to changes in the distribution of marine resources as a result of global climate change or commercial fisheries activity.
