Mark is available as a lecturer on board expedition cruise vessels and to societies/organisations. His lectures cover a wide range of topics suited to various regions of the world: East Asia (including Japan, the Russian Far East, and Russian Arctic); Europe (from Iceland and Norway in the north to Spain in the south); the Mediterranean and Northwest Africa (from Mali, Senegal and the Gambia, to Morocco, along with the offshore islands: Cape Verde, Canary Islands, Azores); South America (from Ecuador and the Galapagos to Patagonia, but especially Brazil, and also the major rivers of northeast South America); and New Zealand. Mark's lectures are highly visual and all are currently presented in Keynote (also Powerpoint by arrangement).
In addition to a range of natural history lectures, Mark also lectures about Japan (on the themes of Japanese Geography, Japanese Food and Japanese Gardens). Mark also gives extended seminars/mini-courses on Global Biodiversity and Conservation, and Nature Tourism for JICA, and introductory courses in Ornithology when requested.
