His audio visual library extends for more than four decades and is unequaled in content. Excerpts from his exceptional collection of data and understanding about how, when, where, and why White Sharks attack have been published in professional journals, research symposium volumes, and appeared in more than 300 articles in the popular press. His book, “Shark Attacks of the Twentieth Century: from the Pacific Coast of North America,” has been proclaimed “a masterpiece” by colleagues and shark enthusiasts worldwide.

Mr. Collier’s achievements include:
•	Founder and President of the Shark Research Committee (1963 - Present)
•	Pioneering the technique using "interspace measurements" from tooth impressions to determine shark species and size.
•	The first to cite the significance of White Shark attack “recurring locations,” as they pertain to attacks on humans.
•	The first researcher to note the significance, and correlation, between juvenile White Shark appearances at Southern California beaches and California Grunion spawns.
•	The first to postulate the significance behind the oddity of “eye rolling” by the White Shark during feeding and/or investigation behaviors.
