Bold and shy kittiwakes experience stress at different times - but all kittiwakes in the population experience environmental stress. Read more about our latest study here: seapop.no/en/2026/04/environ…

Tracking #seabirds has become increasingly important to collect data about their space use - but how to attach the loggers? Colleagues from @NINAnature Bergen have developed a clamp system, which helps to keep loggers in place for several weeks to months. seapop.no/en/2026/03/newly-d…

Using advanced modelling, we can now better measure the lethal and non-lethal effects of #offshore #wind power plants on #seabirds - read more here: seapop.no/en/2026/02/new-too…

Drones and artificial intelligence - in SEAPOP we have started to monitor #seabird population with drones. Pictures are analyzed using artificial intelligence. Here's the #method to get from drone pictures to numbers of birds per species: seapop.no/en/2026/01/drones-…

Marine industries & #seabirds - how can they coexist? Marine spatial planning is the word. Using SEAPOP data, the MARCIS project just launched an MSP-tool for seabirds in the North Atlantic seapop.no/en/2026/01/the-mar…

#biologging #research is booming - but do #loggers actually impact the birds? Yes, they do - depending on the mass and attachment location. If you work with biologging, you should read our latest publication seapop.no/en/2025/11/loggers…

Using 40 years of data from Svalbard, our latest study shows that early break-up of sea ice due to #globalwarming contributes to making some of the islands safer for common eider ducks to breed, as Arctic foxes cannot reach them. @NINAnature @Polarinstitutt
