ResearchThe impacts of climate warming are greatest in the Arctic. The ecological energetics of top predators integrates information over many scales, thus providing unique opportunities to assess ecosystem change. As food used by northern people, top predators also provide early warning signals for changes in human health. How does reduced ice affect marine wildlife? What does the changing ecology of seabirds tell us about arctic ecosystems? These questions will be investigated using cutting-edge physiological and biologging tools to better understand the ecological mechanisms associated with a changing Arctic and to help ensure the environmental security of Arctic communities.QCBS studentsEmily ChoyPostdoctoral fellow Julia BaakPh.D. Tabatha CormierPh.D. Marianne Gousy-LeblancPh.D. Alana Krug-MacLeodPh.D. Thomas LazarusPh.D. Don-Jean Léandri-BretonPh.D. Christina PetalasPh.D. Anne-Marie CousineauM.Sc.
