Research areas

Gill Braulik has been involved in research and conservation of marine mammals, in South, Southeast Asia and Africa, for around the last 25 years. Her primary work goal is to lead and catalyse conservation science on the most endangered species of marine mammal in order to help prevent their extinction. She is currently a Senior Lecturer/Principle Research Fellow in the Scottish Oceans Institute at the University of 精东传媒, UK.  She was a Marie-Curie Research Fellow from 2020-2024, and a Pew Marine Fellow from 2013-2016.  Gill's work increasingly involves providing technical support, training and mentoring to researchers in Asia and Africa leading conservation networks including Steering Committee Member and Founding Member of the Indian Ocean Humpback Dolphin Conservation Network (HuDoNet).  A large focus of her early work was on river dolphins in Asia, especially the Indus and Ganges River dolphins, endangered subspecies of dolphin that occur in Pakistan and India. In addition to Gills river dolphin work, she is also part of the team leading the Global Cetacean Red List Assessment on behalf of the IUCN Cetacean Specialist Group, and is Deputy Chair of the Important Marine Mammal Area Secretariat designating IMMAs globally and working to ensure their application and effectiveness. She continues to lead work in Tanzania using networks of acoustic recorders to document the occurrence of fishing with explosives and studying endangered humpback dolphins around Pemba Island and along the coast of Tanga.  Gill has two PhD students, one from Pakistan and one from India, and supports two Masters students in Tanzania.
