Victoria Marchment

I am an EPSRC-funded PhD student at the Lancaster Environment Centre, working under the supervision of Dr Sally Keith, Dr Duncan Whyatt, and Prof. Carsten Rahbek (University of Copenhagen). I hold a BSc in International Relations from Leeds University and a second BSc (Hons) in Natural Sciences (Biology) from the Open University. Recently, I completed an MSc in Conservation and Biodiversity at Lancaster University, where my dissertation explored the biogeography of oceanic dolphin behaviour. Between my studies, I worked in education, supporting children with special educational needs.

My current research focuses on understanding the interplay between animal behaviour and macroecology. My PhD project aims to advance geospatial techniques for analysing large-scale patterns in animal behaviour, with an emphasis on marine environments. I am particularly drawn to marine biology, and my current project is expected to include data from coral reef systems.
