Onderzoeksveld: 

long-term research experience on

  • coastal and wetland ecology, especially ecology and population biology of arctic geese and ducks, meadow birds and birds of prey
  • functional ecology of bird migration and habitat connectivity
  • effects of global change such as climatic change and changes in human land use on the interplay between soil, plants and birds.

Expertise: 

  • experimental field and laboratory studies on behavioural ecology, nutritional ecology and ecophysiology of waterbirds
  • satellite telemetry and comparative studies with geolocation light level loggers on migratory pathways and timing of migration
  • advanced experience in statistical habitat modelling

Editorial Board Member:

  • Ardea (Journal of the Netherlands Ornithologist Union) 2004 to 2010
