Kiara Lasch

Honours student

I am an Honours student in the Department of Zoology and Entomology at the University of Pretoria. 

During my honours, I will be describing the ontogeny of diving behaviour in male Southern Elephant seals at Marion Island. We will be tracking how the diving and foraging behaviour of these seals change as they develop from juvenile to adults.

I am passionate about marine life, particularly marine mammals, and their conservation. When given the opportunity, I love to travel, hike, free dive, surf and spend time in nature.
