Arctic Breeding Shorebirds in Times of Change
Prof Marcel Klaassen's research is focused on the migration patterns of Arctic shorebirds and the changes in their migration patterns over 30 years due to strength of the seasonal signal, change in onset of seasons and Arctic amplification that is caused by climate change. Additionally Marcel's research looks at the impact of climate change on shore bird habitus (physical build) behaviour and population dynamics.
