Dr. Blackwell received a Licence ès Sciences in Zoology from the University of Neuchâtel, Switzerland, and her graduate degree in Biology from the University of California Santa Cruz. She has held postdoctoral positions at UCSC, the University of Stockholm and Hopkins Marine Station of Stanford University, in all cases working with large marine vertebrates — northern and southern elephant seals, bottlenose dolphins, Baltic grey seals, Atlantic and Pacific bluefin tuna and albacore tuna. She has been involved in the design and manufacture of several types of seal data loggers, recording parameters such as depth, temperature, heart rate, swim speed, activity levels, bioluminescence and sound as a function of time. Her field experience has brought her from rodent trapping in alpine meadows to acoustic tracking of tuna in the Pacific Ocean, and acoustic monitoring for bowhead whales in the Alaskan Arctic. She joined Greeneridge in May 2000 and has since collected and analyzed acoustic data on man-made sounds in the Beaufort and Chukchi Seas, to assess their range and impact on marine mammals. She is a member of the Acoustical Society of America, the Society for Marine Mammalogy and the Society for Bioluminescence and Chemiluminescence. |
