Welcome to the Jenouvrier Seabirds Lab
Today a major challenge in ecology is to understand the consequences of climate change and human activities on wildlife populations for predicting their fate in the future. This requires understanding of past and current population responses to climate change in order to obtain suitable models to predict future ecological consequences.
Seabirds are long-lived upper trophic-level predators in marine ecosystems and are key indicator species of climate and ocean change. Their presence, absence or abundance reflects the impact of environmental variability over large spatial and temporal scales in the global ocean.
WHOI is the world's leading non-profit oceanographic
research organization. Our mission is to explore and understand the ocean and to
educate scientists, students, decision-makers, and the public.
