Research

I am a PhD student at the Animal Ecology Lab at the University of Turku. I am studying the movement ecology of juvenile and subadult White-tailed eagles (Haliaeetus albicilla). I am particularly interested in how early-life and habitat effects an individual's movement and what the consequences are. Generally, I am passionate about movement, animal behaviour and how to link research findings to conservation efforts.
