Filipa Samarra
Filipa is a PhD student at the Sea Mammal Research Unit, University of St Andrews, and is studying the acoustic behaviour of herring-eating killer whales, namely the Norwegian and Icelandic populations, particularly during feeding.

Sanna Kuningas
Sanna is a PhD student in Sea Mammal Research Unit at University of St Andrews. She is using photo-identification as a basis of her studies and focuses on population dynamics, estimating population size, survival and calving rates and movement patterns of Norwegian killer whales in relation to NSS herring biomass and distribution.

Ari Shapiro, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution
Ari studied the vocal and movement behaviour of killer whales in the fjords of northern Norway for his PhD, using digital archival tags developed at WHOI by Mark Johnson and Peter Tyack. You can learn more about the work by clicking on his photograph. He is now working as a science radio and multimedia journalist www.aridanielshapiro.com

Tiu Similä
Tiu has coordinated the Norwegian killer whale project (NORCA) for over 20 years. Her Ph.D studies at the University of Tromsø focused on the behavioural ecology of killer whales with special interest in feeding behaviour, habitat use, occurrence pattern and social organisation. She has also done extensive analysis of photo-id data from Iceland.

Patrick Miller, Sea Mammal Research Unit
Patrick Miller has been studing killer whales since 1988, switching his focus of studies from North Pacific killer whales to North Atlantic killer whales in 2005. Patrick's research has focused on behaviour - using suction-cup tags, acoustic methods, and visual observations to describe and understand social, foraging, and resting behaviours. Patrick has been studying the effects of sonar on killer whales in Norway since 2006, and has been leading a U St Andrews team in Iceland to study acoustic communication and foraging behaviour.

The Hebridean Whale and Dolphin Trust
HWDT is a research and education charity based on the west coast of
Scotland. Through its research vessel, Silurian, and its Public
Sightings Network, HWDT has been collecting photo-identification,
sightings and acoustic data in the Hebrides for over a decade.

Renaud de Stephanis & Philippe Verborgh, CIRCE
CIRCE (Conservation,Information & Research on Cetaceans) is a research and conservation association working in the Strait of Gibraltar. They have been studying killer whales in the Strait of Gibraltar for over 10 years.

Gísli Víkingsson, Marine Research Institute, Reykjavík
Gísli has been a part of the Icelandic killer whale research program run by the Marine Research Institute for over 20 years, collecting photo-id, acoustic and genetic data.

Heike Vester, Ocean Sounds
Ocean Sounds is an organization based in Henningsvær in northern Norway, that is dedicated to the research of marine animals, public education, and conservation of the marine environment.
