Title: Ivory gull distribution and habitat use in relation to pack ice extend and quality
|
|
Project goals
To compile and analyze all satellite transmitter tracking data produced by 13 ivory gulls between July 07-January 2008 in order to produce automatic procedures to (1) sort the data (distinguish feeding/breeding grounds, migratory routes, wintering grounds), (2) link them with available sea ice databases (e.g. AMSR-E; to assess the spatio-temporal habitat requirements of the species and ultimately assess their extinction risk using predictive sea ice models) and (3) post all data on web pages with daily updates.
Results
Ongoing: None to date
