Seabird Oceanography
The Seabird Oceanography Lab is involved in research focusing on seabird ecology, movement ecology, oceanography, and integrated ecosystem studies while providing research and educational opportunities for students. Our research applications range from colony-and vessel-based observational studies to deploying state-of-the-art electronics to study individual foraging, dispersal, migration, and behavior patterns of seabirds.
