This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Comment: Not a notable academic based on the cited sources; the references are all either connected to the subject or are about his work, not him. The only possible exception is Ref. 3, but I don't know about the reliability of that site (looks suspicious to me).

Alexandre (Alex) N. Zerbini is an oceanographer, researcher, and academic. He is a senior research scientist at the Cooperative Institute for Climate, Ocean and Ecosystem Studies (CICOES) at the University of Washington and at Marine Ecology and Telemetry Research, as well as a research affiliate at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
Zerbini's research interests include marine mammal population biology, population ecology, management, and conservation, with a focus on satellite tracking methods to understand the distribution, movements, migration, conservation, and habitat use of large cetaceans.
Early life and education
[edit]Zerbini was born in São Paulo, Brazil.[1] He received a B.S. in Biological Oceanography in 1992 from the Federal University of Rio Grande and completed an M.S. in Zoology from the University of São Paulo in 1998. In 2006, he earned a PhD in Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences from the University of Washington.[2] He was a National Research Council postdoctoral fellow at NOAA's Alaska Fisheries Science Center in Seattle between 2006 and 2009.[3]
Career
[edit]Zerbini was an associate professor at the University of the Itajaí Valley from 1996 to 1999, and in 2012, he joined the Federal University of Juiz de Fora as a visiting professor.[3] After completing his graduate studies and post-doctoral fellowships, he joined Cascadia Research Collective as a research scientist[4] and became a research affiliate with the Alaska Fisheries Science Center, a research branch of NOAA.[3] He has also worked at Marine Ecology and Telemetry Research.[5] Since 2019, he is a senior research scientist at the Cooperative Institute for Climate, Ocean and Ecosystem Studies at the University of Washington.[6]
Research
[edit]Zerbini's research involved the use of telemetry methods to study the ecology of large cetaceans. His tracking of humpback whales in the southwest Atlantic Ocean revealed that whales are found over the continental shelf, whereas their feeding grounds are located near South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands.[7] Tracking of humpback whales also revealed that besides summer grounds, their feeding grounds are located in mid-latitude seamounts and wintering grounds.[8]
Zerbini's research on the marine ecosystem of the Bering Sea revealed that the timing of sea ice breakup and formation is one of the major determinants of phytoplankton and zooplankton blooms.[9] He has also contributed to the global assessments of humpback whales populations and showed that many whale populations are increasing after being protected from commercial whaling in the mid 20th Century, and some whale populations are close to their pre-exploitation level.[10][11] Furthermore, his assessments on the population growth rate of humpback whales have noted their abundance in the Western South Atlantic Ocean and the Southwestern Indian Ocean.[12]
Zerbini has also made contributions to the research and management of marine animals, including those in the fields of fisheries monitoring, estimation of population size, and conservation strategies.[13][14]
