Dr Jonathan Green PhD

My research interests lie at the interface of the traditional disciplines of ecology, physiology and behaviour. My work focuses on seabirds, as these animals must adapt be adapted to two contrasting environments: the challenges of foraging in a big, deep, cold, dark, distant water body are very different to those that they face while breeding and moulting on land. Furthermore, both of these environments and their associated challenges change naturally on a seasonal and annual basis and are under anthropogenic threats from over-fishing, climate change and renewable energy developments.

Current projects range from the tropics to the poles with postdocs and postgrads working with partners in the Caribbean (www.caribbeanseabirds.org.uk), in the Channel Islands (www.alderneywildlife.org), in South Africa (http://www.fitzpatrick.uct.ac.za/docs/lorien.html), South Georgia (www.antarctica.ac.uk) and closer to home at our main field site in North Wales (www.puffinisland.org.uk). Research and volunteer opportunities are possible at most of these sites. Contact me for more details.
