Dr. Katleen Robert is an Assistant Professor in the School of Ocean Technology, Fisheries and Marine Institute of Memorial University where she holds a Canada Research Chair (tier 2) in Ocean Mapping. Her research aims at developing quantitative and repeatable approaches to map seafloor habitats. Her focus has been on examining fine-scale species-environment relationships using benthic imagery, sidescan and multibeam sonars to build full-coverage predictive maps. She is now also looking at mapping deep-sea and coastal habitats at even greater resolutions using 3D point-clouds and photogrammetry reconstructions.  The overarching aim of this work is to provide high-resolution maps from which quantitative insights regarding species distributions, habitat change or effectiveness of conservation measures can be drawn.
