Forlagsbeskrivelse af THE SEABIRDS OF GREENLAND af Editor Morten Frederiksen
Seabirds are found everywhere along the shores of Greenland, from the gulls in harbours to the dramatic nesting cliffs and the huge little auk colonies, which only few people have visited. Throughout history, people in Greenland have had a close relationship with seabirds, which have been a resource that could make the difference between life and death. This book gives the first overview of the biology of Greenland’s seabirds, based on the most recent research.
The chapters in the book describe which seabirds occur in Greenland, how they are adapted to the Arctic environment and life on the open ocean, as well as how people have exploited seabirds through time. In addition, the book includes portraits of the most important seabird species, and personal stories from some of the places where the birds breed.
The book has been written by researchers at the Greenland Institute of Natural Resources and Aarhus University, who have been responsible for most seabird studies in Greenland. It is edited by Morten Frederiksen, professor at the Department of Ecoscience at Aarhus University and an internationally recognised expert in seabird ecology. The book is lavishly illustrated with photos, most of which taken by award-winning photographer and seabird researcher Carsten Egevang.
The publication is funded by the Aage V. Jensen Fonde, with profits from the sale of the book going to the Greenlandic environmental NGO, Oceans North Kalaallit Nunaat.
