Corinna Langebrake, our newest team member, started working at the Lower Saxony Wadden Sea National Park Administration (NLPV) last month. Her main responsibility will be the protection and optimisation of breeding habitats of grassland birds, specifically on the East Frisian Islands. In addition, she will be developing strategies to protect different characteristic species.
Corinna Langebrake studied biology in Greifswald with an ornithological focus. Between her Bachelor's and Master's degree she joined a research project on hummingbirds in the Andes of Colombia. After her studies she proceeded with a PhD at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Biology and the Institute of Avian Research in Wilhelmshaven. Her focus were the evolution and genomics of avian migration, with a specific interest in orientation and magnetoreception.
