    I started with my PhD at the NIOO-KNAW in September 2017. Before, I studied Forest and Nature Conservation at Wageningen University, where I specialised in Ecology and GIS-analyses. After my study I was involved in several projects at the NIOO-KNAW such as the monitoring of cavity breeding passerines and the Light on Nature project.
    My PhD-project focusses on the costs and benefits of bird migration, by comparing a resident and migrating barnacle goose population. I aim to determine the adaptations (behavioural and physiological) of migrating geese and how this influences their survival, energy expenditure and breeding success. To this end we use GPS-tracking devices to track barnacle geese in the Netherlands and on their migration to Arctic Russia. Within this project I work closely with Götz Eichhorn, Henk van der Jeugd and Bart Nolet.
