After a master's degree and a PhD on marine birds at the CEBC, followed by a postdoc at the Smithsonian Institute and at the University of California Davis, USA, Frédéric is recruited as a researcher in ecophysiology at the CEBC in 2010. His expertise is on the impact of anthropogenic constraints on wild vertebrates, including polar, European and tropical birds.

Charly obtained his PhD from the University Pierre et Marie Curie, France in 1991 under the supervision of P. Jouventin (CEBC). He did a postdoc at the Meereskunde Institute in Germany with R.P. Wilson, before being recruited at the CNRS in Strasbourg in 1993. He moved to the CEBC in 2003 where he is based now. His main research interest concerns the foraging strategies of diving predators in relation to the variability of the oceanic environment.

After a PhD on marine birds at the CEBC, followed by a post-doctorate at the University of Groningen, The Netherlands, Olivier was recruited at the CEBC in 1996 and is now a Director of Research there and the head of the Ecophysiology group. He is an expert in hormonal processes, especially stress physiology, underlying avian life-history trade-offs and has published over 200 articles. Olivier is leading research projects on the physiological and fitness consequences of contaminant exposure in polar (Svalbard, Antarctica) and tropical seabirds (French Guyana) and has developed a long-term partnership with Norwegian research institutions on the study of Arctic seabirds.

After a diploma from the Ecole Normale Supérieur and a teacher certification in Natural Sciences, Yves overwintered in Crozet Island before graduating a PhD on the physiology of fasting in the King penguin. Recruited at the CNRS in 1988, he focused on the food ecology of marine birds and mammals and, through them, on the pelagic ecosystem of the Southern Ocean. He regularly participates to either terrestrial field missions or oceanographic campaigns in sub-Antarctic, Antarctic and tropical areas.

Karine is a research engineer at the CEBC where she is in charge of the maintenance of the long-term observatory of bird populations and marine mammals in the French Southern and Antarctic Territories. She supervises data acquisition and coordinates fieldworks conducted by the personnel in Crozet, Kerguelen, Amsterdam and Terre Adélie. She is interested in aerial capture devices for counting populations and seabirds at-sea distribution.

Christophe is the Director of the CEBC, where he studies the behavioural and foraging ecology of marine mammals. He coordinates a number of international research programs, among which the French contribution to Southern Elephant seal as Ocean Samplers (SEaOS) and Marine Mammal Ocean Explorer- Pole to Pole (MEOP). Through a long collaboration with the Sea Mammal Research Unit in Scotland he develops the latest generation of oceanographic tags incorporating fluorimeter, oxygen or light sensors and onboard data processing techniques in tags.

Tiphaine did a MSc and a PhD on biology and ecology of fur seals and sea lions at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada. She is interested in understanding the impacts of environmental changes on physiology, energetics and ecology of top marine predators using a multidisciplinary approach. She has collaborated on several projects on foraging ecology of marine birds, sharks and whales in polar, temperate or tropical ecosystems and is currently holding a fellowship at the Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada in Rimouski, Quebec on foraging ecology of ice seals in the Arctic. Tiphaine was recruited at CNRS in 2018 as a researcher at CEBC.

Stéphanie is an associate scientist at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (USA) and CEBC. She is an ecologist interested in understanding and predicting the effect of climate change on life history and population dynamics, especially for seabirds in the Southern Ocean. Her work combines long-term longitudinal data with demographic, statistical and mathematical models coupled with climates models participating in the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change assessment.

Akiko is a specialist of ecology and behaviour of seabirds using bio-logging approach. After working as a researcher at National institute of Polar Research, Japan from 1993 to 2008, she joined CNRS at Strasbourg in France as an engineer of research in 2009 and then moved to the CEBC in 2015. She is interested in studying the foraging behaviour of penguins and other seabirds in relation to environmental changes. She also collaborates with many researchers under various research projects thanks to her expertise in bio-logging data analyses.

After a Masters and PhD on marine birds tracked by Argos satellite transmitters at the CEBC and a post-doctorate at the Université Laval in Quebec, Canada, David is recruited as a Statistical and spatial analysis Research Engineer at the CEBC in 2008. He works transversally to the different teams of the laboratory by supporting research programs, in particular through the analysis of the positioning of animals monitored by different sensors and transmitters, as well as their relations with their environment.

Henri is Director of Research at the CEBC and the head of a research group that studies the effects of climate and human activities on marine ecosystems using top predators as sentinels of changes. Over the past 40 years, he totals 32 research expeditions from Antarctica to tropical islands. His researches focus on the evolution of foraging strategies, the link between foraging and demography and seabird conservation, in particular the impact of long-line fisheries on albatrosses and petrels. He published more than 350 publications, including 10 in Nature and Science.

After an undergraduate diploma in Marseille and a PhD in La Rochelle, followed by a post-doctorate at the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA, UN), on the bioaccumulation of metals in marine mollusks, Paco is recruited as Associate Professor of Ecotoxicology at the University of La Rochelle in 2000 and become Professor in 2007. He studies the processes of bioaccumulation and detoxification of contaminants in marine organisms, their toxic effects, and their transfer into food webs. He uses controlled laboratory conditions and free-ranging animals.
