About

Dr. Neil Hammerschlag is a marine conservation ecologist renowned for his pioneering research on shark ecology, behavior, and conservation. His work focuses on understanding the ecological roles of sharks in marine ecosystems, their movement patterns, and the threats they face from human activities. Hammerschlag has made significant contributions to shark conservation by integrating cutting-edge technologies, such as satellite tagging and 3D visualization, to study shark biology and behavior. His most-cited paper, "3D visualization processes for recreating and studying organismal form" (2022, 29 citations), exemplifies his innovative approach to biomechanics and functional morphology, offering new tools for studying organismal form and movement. With over 100 peer-reviewed publications and thousands of citations, his research has profoundly influenced marine policy and public awareness. Hammerschlag is also the founder of the Urban Shark Research Project, which examines shark behavior in coastal cities, and a National Geographic Explorer. His work has been featured in documentaries and media worldwide, inspiring a new generation of marine scientists.
