Overview

C. D. W. Wilkinson is a researcher affiliated with the University of Glasgow in the United Kingdom. Their work focuses primarily on environmental science and earth and planetary sciences, with significant contributions to the subfields of ecology, atmospheric science, and oceanography. Their research topics include marine animal studies, Arctic and Antarctic ice dynamics, underwater acoustics research, and marine and coastal plant biology.

Wilkinson has published multiple papers in prominent venues including Marine Mammal Science, the journal of cetacean research and management (special issue), African Journal of Marine Science, and Scientific Reports. The specific recent publications include:

  • Swimming across the pond: First documented transatlantic crossing of a southern right whale, 2023, Marine Mammal Science
  • Spatio-temporal trends in cetacean strandings and response in the south-western Indian Ocean: 2000-2020, 2023, The journal of cetacean research and management. Special issue
  • Mortalities of southern right whales (Eubalaena australis) and related anthropogenic factors in South African waters, 1999-2019, 2022, The journal of cetacean research and management. Special issue
  • Estimating population changes in humpback whales Megaptera novaeangliae migrating past Cape Vidal, South Africa, 2023, African Journal of Marine Science
  • Assessment of the effects of satellite-linked telemetry tags on southern right whales over two decades, 2025, The journal of cetacean research and management. Special issue

Frequent co-authors collaborating with Wilkinson include Els Vermeulen, Peter B. Best, Alexandre N. Zerbini, Jennifer Olbers, and Ken Findlay.

The main topics addressed in Wilkinson's research are:

  • Marine animal studies overview
  • Arctic and Antarctic ice dynamics
  • Underwater acoustics research
  • Marine and coastal plant biology
  • Ichthyology and marine biology
  • Coral and marine ecosystems studies
  • Marine and fisheries research

Wilkinson's publications reflect an interdisciplinary approach, connecting ecological data and marine biology with broader environmental and planetary science contexts. Their work contributes to understanding marine mammal behavior, population trends, and the impact of anthropogenic factors on marine ecosystems.
