Biography

Ryan Reisinger is an Associate Professor at the University of Southampton, specializing in Marine Biology with a focus on the ecology of marine predators. His work investigates how the biophysical oceanographic environment influences the behavior and distribution of these predators. He employs advanced modeling techniques to forecast ecological dynamics in response to changing seascapes. His research increasingly integrates applied conservation and management strategies, using data from animal biologging and remote sensing technologies, alongside modern analytical tools such as machine learning. Reisinger’s primary geographic focus is the Southern Ocean, particularly in studies related to Antarctic and Subantarctic ecosystems. His notable projects include assessing the dynamics of interactions between krill fisheries and humpback whale foraging behavior. In addition to his research, he contributes to various marine biology courses at the University of Southampton.
