Dr. Elliott’s project aims at determining key seabird (thick-billed murres, Uria lomvia) hotspots at-sea in the Arctic to emphasize critical habitats, using a dynamic ice map to predict future seabird hotspots and their overlap with shipping (“Risk Map”). To achieve his goal, Dr. Eliott uses an individual-based energetics modelling framework on existing datasets which will be supplemented by additional data collected during the project.
