Belinda Cannell is a Research Fellow at the University of Western Australia, specializing in the ecology of seabirds, particularly penguins. She obtained her BSc with Honours in Biological Sciences from Murdoch University in 1986, where she studied the social behavior of hamadryas baboons. After three years as a research assistant at the University of Newcastle, she began her PhD at Monash University in 1990, focusing on the foraging behavior of penguins. Throughout her career, Cannell has held multiple post-doctoral positions at Murdoch University and UWA, alongside part-time research roles and consultancy projects. Her research includes radio-tracking and sampling penguins in Perth, aimed at understanding the impacts of climate change and other threats to these species. Current interests involve the ecology of penguin colonies in southern Western Australia, diving research, and conservation biology. She has contributed to various projects monitoring seabirds and their habitats, using biotelemetry and stable isotope analyses to study dietary composition and population dynamics.
