Hi everyone!

I’m Dr Charlotte Findlay and I research #MarineMammals 🐋🦭 and the impacts to these species from exposure to human-made underwater noise with the goal of developing management solutions! 🚢🔊⬇️
And a few Spitsbergen landscape shots… 😍🧊❄️

Appreciate I did a pretty rubbish job of updating on @lmcwhin.bsky.social and I’s Svalbard WAVE project adventure to survey marine mammals in the Arctic with HX!

But I’ll make up for it with some snaps 📷 🐻‍❄️ 🐋 🦭

Starting my journey north towards the Arctic as part of the WAVE project (www.wave-arcticwhales.com) in a slightly crazy @edinburghairport.bsky.social (is half of Scotland here today?! 😂) attempting to teach myself to like matcha… 🍵 🍓 ✈️

Stay tuned for Arctic content!

Ever wondered why seals don't drown? New groundbreaking research from @smruecophys.bsky.social led by @chrismcknight.bsky.social published in @science.org reveals that, unlike other mammals, seals can sense blood oxygen levels.

The irony of being currently unemployed and yet being busier than I’ve been in ages is not lost on me… #Stressed #ECRchat #Science #MarineScience #MarMam 🧪🦑🐋🦭

Was so obsessed with the Neil the seal videos 😂🦭
Me after #Christmas Day….the very famous Neil the Seal in Tasmania, Australia.

Recently, I had the pleasure of viewing THE one and only, @tiktok superstar - Neil the seal, with my fabulous @darwin200_ leader @cheriaara.

@sophiavolzke.bsky.social he is so cute!
