Grant is an ecologist with expertise in evaluating climate change impacts on wildlife and human populations, as well as bio-informatics. He has been on the penguinscience team since 1996.

Amélie is a seabird ecologist brought on the team in 2005 for her expertise on diving behavior analysis and the use of animal-borne sensors. Her research combines data collected at-sea and at the colony to understand how inter-individual differences in foraging behavior translates into differences in breeding performance and/or survival.

Arvind is a molecular virologist who works across ecosystems from plants to animals and from the tropics to the Antarctic. His research uses a combination of traditional virology, microscopy (including transmission electron microscopy), molecular and cellular biology techniques in conjunction with modern sequencing techniques, synthetic biology and bioinformatics to characterize viruses and understand their dynamics.

Megan is a biologist at Point Blue Conservation Science and has worked with the penguinscience team since 2013. As a biologist at Point Blue, she works to advance the conservation and effective management of species and their ecosystems, often by contributing to, and advocating for the value, of long-term bird monitoring data.

Rachael Orben is an Assistant Professor (Sr. Research) at Oregon State University’s Hatfield Marine Science Center where she leads the Seabird Oceanography Lab. She was an intern with the Penguin Science Team in 2003/04 at Cape Crozier. She brings experience in seabird foraging ecology and biologging and is the graduate advisor for Suzie Winquist.

Christina is a wildlife biologist who joined Point Blue Conservation Science to assist with Adélie penguin research during the 2023/24 season. While her area of expertise is in animal microbiomes, she has much experience handling and tracking birds.
