Ana is an Associate Professor at the Australian National University (ANU) leading pioneering research in the field of marine megafauna movement and conservation. She develops models to better understand the marine environment, with a focus on marine spatial planning and conservation specializing in the movement ecology of marine megafauna, such as sharks, whales, seals, and polar bears. She works on global, highly collaborative and multidisciplinary projects, such as MegaMove (www.megamove.org). Ana has secured prestigious fellowships and grants, such as the Australian Research Council DECRA and Discovery Projects, and the Pew Marine Fellowship from the Pew Charitable Trusts. She is immensely grateful for all the support provided for the GAT project research and proud to have this opportunity to work directly with Traditional Owners.

Hannah is a postdoctoral researcher at the Australian National University (ANU) where she works as a spatial ecologist focused on researching the movement and space-use patterns of migratory marine megafauna at regional and global scale. She specializes in developing and applying analytical methods for quantifying animal movement, including quantitative, geospatial, and statistical physics-based approaches. Hannah has been an active member of the Sequeira Lab since 2017. Prior to working at ANU, Hannah graduated with a PhD from the University of Western Australia, a MSc from the University of Miami, and a BSc Hons. from Dalhousie University.
