Senior🎓
Top SchoolDavid Morla is a spatial ecologist and GIS specialist with 12 years of experience applying quantitative and computational methods to coastal and marine systems. As a CIDEGENT Distinguished Researcher at Universitat de València and Honorary Lecturer at the University of Exeter, he bridges academic research and applied spatial modelling of species distributions and human activities. His background combines marine geospatial infrastructure, acoustic telemetry, benthic mapping and numerical models of marine plastics, reflecting both field and computational expertise. He has a strong international training record with placements in Hawaii, Berlin, Aberdeen and a MSc in GIS management, enabling interdisciplinary approaches to marine conservation and fisheries management. David is as comfortable building spatial data infrastructures and visualizations as he is developing statistical models in R, offering pragmatic workflows that turn complex spatial data into policy-relevant insights. Based in Mallorca, he brings deep regional knowledge of the Mediterranean coupled with broader methodological innovation in computational ecology.
