Our work has a particular focus on assessing the sustainability of these systems, as they are challenged through anthropogenic demands and activities. As examples, research includes the intersection of the natural world with human activities, including the impact of wind farms on marine birds; shifts in the Arctic ecosystem resulting from climate warming; and assessing the potential for terrestrial insects as protein sources for human populations and farmed animals.
