Paige Casler is a Research Associate who has been working with SR3 since 2017. Her work has focused on using photogrammetry to investigate body condition and overall health of a number of different large whale and dolphin populations, including bottlenose dolphins in Southern California, humpback and killer whales in Antarctica, and Southern Resident killer whales. Paige gradated with her Master’s degree from the University of Miami in 2017 in Marine Mammal Science and has since been involved in cetacean stranding investigations, boat-based field work to collect photo-identification and photogrammetry data, analysis of photogrammetric and photo-identification data, and microbiome research with next-generation DNA sequencing and bioinformatics of 16S rRNA amplicon and shotgun metagenomic datasets. Paige is currently analyzing photogrammetry images of Southern Resident killer whales as part of SR3’s long-term health monitoring study on the endangered population.
