She was then employed by the National Environmental Research Institute (NERI) in 2007 on a project aiming to identify areas of high porpoise density in Danish waters. The project contributed to the selection of Sites of Community Importance (SCI) for harbour porpoises (EU habitat Directive) in Denmark. In August 2007 she began a PhD project named ‘Spatial and temporal distribution of harbour porpoises in relation to their prey’ at Aarhus University in corporation with NERI.
