Christopher Monk

Dr. Christopher Monk is a Researcher at the Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel (GEOMAR), leading the Marine Behavioural Ecology group. His work spans fish behavioral ecology, movement ecology, and social-ecological systems, focusing on understanding marine ecosystems through high-resolution behavioral data.

• Expertise in acoustic telemetry for tracking fish behavior
• Develops interactive 3D visualization tools for movement analysis
• Active in interdisciplinary networks like sARDINE and DTOTrack

His research emphasizes the impact of anthropogenic stressors on marine life, including fisheries-induced evolution and climate change effects. Current projects integrate European tracking data into digital twin platforms for North Sea movement modeling.

Key Collaborations:

• iDiv Synthesis Centre (sARDINE project)
• Sustainable Blue Economy Partnership (DTOTrack)
• European Tracking Network
