Latest news from the field
Alexandre and Joan, two fieldworkers at Kerguelen Islands are now repairing the hexacopter (see picture on the right). Conditions are so windy, that we did not manage yet to successfully fly over a penguin colony to take pictures. The hexacopter unfortunately crashed while Alexandre was trying to land due to a unexpected strong gust of wind! For more stories chack our blog and more science, click here!
Latest news from the science
Our paper in Science has been published last week! Although, it is not on a marine species but an European passerine, the great tit, it addresses timely and important question about the role of ecological and evolutionary processes in population responses to climate change.

Morss Colloquium announcement:
Conservation of polar species susceptible to impacts from climate change
I am pleased to announce a colloquium entitled “Conservation of polar species susceptible to impacts from climate change” May 5th- May 7th 2014, which aims to bring policy and science together to discuss conservation strategies for species endangered by climate change in polar regions.
This public colloquium is funded by the Morss fund, the Ocean Life and Ocean and Climate Change Institutes, as well as the Marine mammal and Marine Policy Centers from Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. The Morss funds come from a generous gift by Elisabeth W. and Henry A. Morss, Jr. which has allowed the Institution to establish a fund to support public colloquia on issues of global importance that confront the human race.
