- Population biologists with expertise in seabird ecology, including
- Time-series studies of demography, feeding ecology, trophic interactions and other climate-related responses of seabirds since 1981.
- National mapping and monitoring of seabird distribution and population trends.
- Studies of seabird movements (using satellite transmitters and loggers), morphometry and population origin.
- Environmental impact assessments and vulnerability modelling, e.g. related to seabirds and offshore oil exploration.
- Well experienced with respect to electronic data processing and statistical analyses.
- Scientific supervisor for a number of MSc students and some experience as a university lecturer and examiner.
- Long experience in administration and science managing at the project, programme and department levels, and administrative head of NINA's field station in Røst.

Annette Fayet
ResearchI am a researcher interested in seabird ecology, behaviour, and conservation. My research addresses a range of questions from understanding drivers of movements and the fitness consequences of variation in movement strategies, to drivers of population declines, mechanisms of competition avoidance, individual specialisation, and carry-over effects.
To address these questions, I combine traditional monitoring methods with bird-borne tracking loggers, field experiments, and machine learning. I mainly work with North Atlantic species, but also with species in the Indian and Pacific Oceans.
FieldworkI co-lead a long-term seabird monitoring site on the Røst archipelago in the Norwegian Sea as part of the SEAPOP programme, and I have been leading a study of Atlantic puffins on Skomer Island (Wales, UK) since 2011.
OtherI have a DPhil in Zoology from the University of Oxford. Before joining NINA, I was a Junior Research Fellow in the Department of Zoology at the University of Oxford.
I am currently an Associate Editor for the Journal of Animal Ecology and secretary for The Seabird Group charity. I am also a National Geographic Explorer and a former Sky Ocean Rescue Scholar.
