Research Specialist

Paul Wensveen - I’m a marine biologist and acoustician at at the Faculty of Life and Environmental Sciences of the University of Iceland. My research interests include effects of noise on marine mammals, animal behaviour and movement, biologging and telemetry, and sensory biology.
