Summary
Ryan Reisinger is an Associate Professor of Marine Biology and Ecology at the University of Southampton with a decade of experience studying the ecology and behaviour of marine predators, particularly in the Southern Ocean. He combines animal biologging and remote sensing with advanced quantitative tools, including machine learning, to model and forecast predator distribution and behaviour in changing seascapes. His research explicitly links these mechanistic insights to applied conservation and management questions, translating data-driven ecology into policy-relevant outcomes. Based at the National Oceanography Centre Southampton, he brings a strong interdisciplinary approach that spans oceanography, ecology, and data science. Colleagues value his ability to turn complex sensor and satellite datasets into actionable ecosystem understanding. He is notable for coupling cutting-edge computational methods with field-derived animal tracking to reveal how physical oceanography shapes predator ecology.
