I enjoy working across diverse topics, systems, and species, and I’m fortunate to collaborate with great people in many different research settings—field and lab, observational and experimental. As a result, I’m involved in a wide range of projects. Some are short‑term and focused, where a single question can be answered and the project naturally pauses (at least until new ideas reopen it). Others are long‑term and more complex, where each answer generates new questions and the work evolves continuously. Over time, these projects begin to connect with one another (see the network below), and entirely new research directions emerge. It’s a process that never truly ends—and I’m grateful for that.
Each project usually ends with a publication, so the list in the Publications section reflects the full set of research questions I have explored so far. Below, I outline three main research avenues that my group(s) and I currently work within. These areas overlap extensively and often grow beyond what their labels suggest. The list includes only projects that are formally established—those with a website, regular funding, or a defined reporting deadline (such as PhD projects I supervise). Other ongoing work may be added here in the future, and new research directions will certainly continue to emerge.
Ongoing projects
ACORD
This project investigates the ecological and hormonal mechanisms that drive such coordination, using meta‑analysis and field studies on the little auk.
COORD
This project creates a unified R package that standardizes coordination metrics and reveals how ecological and life‑history factors shape parental strategies.
ARCTOX
Collaborative project: A pan-Arctic, international network to track mercury contamination across Arctic marine food webs.
SEATRACK
Collaborative project: A pan-Arctic, international network to track wintering areas and migration routes of seabirds.
LAPSE
This project investigates how changing ocean conditions and zooplankton communities shape little auks diet, behavior, and reproductive performance.
