Flyway model
A model that simulates seabird migration routes by balancing wind, distance, and food availability. It was tested against tracking data from Arctic terns to see which route choices best match real flyways.
Research portfolio
Projects
A selection of projects on migration, Arctic climate, and ecosystem timing. Each project combines ecological questions with data analysis and modelling.
Arctic climate & seasonal timing
Analysis of how warming, snowmelt, rainfall, and extreme weather are changing the short breeding season used by Arctic birds.
Vegetation timing and nutrient peaks
Work on plant growth timing in the Arctic using satellite data, climate reanalysis, and CMIP6 projections to understand when food becomes available.
Arctic tern wind strategies
Comparison of two Arctic tern populations to see how they use Atlantic wind patterns and whether they drift with crosswinds or compensate for them.
