Rita Leitão
Research Assistant
I completed my master’s thesis on the acoustic presence and behaviour of blue and fin whales in the Azores using continuous recordings collected by ocean-bottom seismometers. Currently, I'm working as research assistant analysing a long-term photo-identification dataset of sperm whales to investigate social dynamics and structure of units in the Azores.
