Assessing the exposure and behavioural response of grey seals (Halichoerus grypus) to shipping noise’ at Plymouth University, UK. We are seeking a highly numerate candidate to carry out 3D oceanographic and propagation models of shipping noise, and using archived datasets from grey seals tagged in UK waters to calculate exposure levels and assess behavioural changes in diving activity of seals in relation to shipping noise.
