The impacts of climate warming are greatest in the Arctic. For many animals, the timing and location of their movement patterns, especially the incredible migrations of birds, will determine their resilience to change. As food used by northern people, birds also provide early warning signals for changes in human health. What does the changing ecology of seabirds tell us about arctic ecosystems? How do toxins affect resilience to climate change? These questions will be investigated using cutting-edge biologging tools to better understand ecological mechanisms in a changing Arctic and to help ensure the environmental security of Arctic communities.

气候变暖对北极的影响最大。对于许多动物来说， 他们的运动模式的时间和位置，特别是令人难以置信的 鸟类的迁徙，将决定它们对变化的适应能力。作为食物， 北方人、鸟类也为人类的变化提供预警信号 健康海鸟生态的变化告诉我们北极的什么 生态系统？毒素如何影响对气候变化的适应能力？这些问题 将使用最先进的生物记录工具进行调查， 北极变化中的生态机制，并帮助确保环境 北极社区的安全。
