Kristina Boerder

Postdoctoral fellow in marine conservation, Dalhousie University

I am working to apply big data in the context of marine spatial planning and conservation in collaboration with Global Fishing Watch and other partners around the globe. My research includes analyses of human pressures on the ocean such as fishing, shipping and underwater noise using satellite vessel tracking and species modelling data, as well as the role of environmental and oceanographic parameters and climate change for conservation measures such as the design of marine protected areas and integrated marine spatial planning and management. This work supports the current development of the novel, freely available online platform and database Global Fishing Watch Marine Manager including integrated analysis tools to facilitate dynamic marine spatial planning around the globe.
