Jason is a Principal Scientist & Deputy Director of Technology at SMRU Consulting. He has over 20 years of experience studying acoustic ecology and behaviour in airborne, substrate (i.e., seismic), and waterborne communication. Following his PhD at the University of California, Davis, he held post-doctoral fellowships at Stanford University in the Geophysics and Otolaryngology departments. Following this, he taught an undergraduate field-based bioacoustics course through the University of Washington’s Friday Harbor Laboratories for Beam Reach. He also led the research department at The Whale Museum in Friday Harbor. For the past fifteen years, his work has focused on marine mammals and the potential impacts of anthropogenic sounds on these animals. These studies have involved the development of complex study designs and the implementation of acoustic, statistical, and spatial analyses and modelling.
