Prof Louise Chilvers BAgrSc(Hons), PhD

Professor of Wildlife Ecology (Director of Oiled Wildlife Response)

Doctoral Mentor Supervisor
School of Veterinary Science

As the Director of Wildbase Oiled Wildlife Response, Louise's role focuses on managing New Zealand's National oiled wildlife response team and undertaking research associated with oil spill response and marine biology.  Louise's research focuses on marine wildlife, seabirds and marine mammals, population biology, behavioural and foraging ecology, and conservation biology. For oiled wildlife research, studies include biological, social/economic and management issues including investigating compassion fatigue in emergency responders. Species Louise has worked with include NZ sea lion, NZ fur seal, dolphins, whales, dugongs, and seabirds; penguins, Procellariiformes (petrels, shearwaters, albatrosses), and Pelecaniformes (shags, gannets).

Keywords

My research addresses broad scale questions at the both ecosystem and marine wildlife levels including marine ecology, ecosystem integrity, population biology and management, behavioural and foraging ecology, conservation biology and oiled wildlife response.  Research species include New Zealand sea lion, NZ fur seal, dolphins, dugongs, beaked and baleen whales, penguins and seabirds. My research has a strong academic focus, with an application to applied marine conservation management and international management of marine species. For example, I have led the New Zealand sea lion management program for the last 12 years providing science, policy and management advice and the international management of New Zealand cetaceans as the Head of Delegation for New Zealand for the International Whaling Science Committee and Science advisor for IWC Commission.

I incorporate a range of scientific techniques in my research (e.g., satellite tracking, time-depth recorders, GIS, remote sensing, genetics, fatty acid analysis, stable isotope analysis) in both laboratory and field based experiments, observations and analyses to produce research that examines issues such as marine species foraging ecology, diving behaviour, population ecology, abundance, reproduction, climate change, population viability analysis, social structure, mating systems, maternal and parental investment, behaviour, disease transmission, serological, parasitology, growth and diet.

Project Title: Lewis Fitch - Understanding and tools for prevention of mental health stress in animal care staff: case studies of oiled wildlife responders

No matter what news channel you watch there is increasing coverage of world disasters, hurricanes, floods, fires, earthquakes or oil spills and all of these involve the need for animal as well as human care response. However, emergency response cannot be done without emergency responders. There is little research investigating the mental health or stress risks of animal emergency responders, or on the programs, processes or training required to retain and allow staff to be resilient and thrive in their roles. Oiled wildlife response has become an important part of any oil spill event. Providing care for wildlife can enrich the lives of carers often termed and measured as Compassion Satisfaction (CS). Conversely, the work can be deeply challenging; financially, emotionally and physically, jeopardizing carers wellbeing and putting them at risk of Compassion Fatigue (CF). Limited information is available to determine the individual variables of animal care staff that can relate to CS and CF. However, by having a better understanding of the potential for CS and the risk of CF among animal care givers both professionals and volunteers, it is anticipated that proactive, protective strategies can be designed, taught and lessen mental health risks and provide better resilience and retention at all staff levels.
