Biography

Andrea Kölzsch is an Assistant Professor at Radboud University specializing in Ecology. Her research interests primarily revolve around movement ecology, particularly the study of avian migrants and the movement patterns of various species of ducks and geese in Europe. Kölzsch focuses on understanding how migration is influenced by climate and habitat changes, analyzing individual movement paths and the environmental factors that affect these patterns, such as food availability and social dynamics. She collaborates extensively with a large team to collect and analyze high-resolution GPS tracking data combined with 3D accelerometer data, with ongoing projects that dissect movement preferences and site use among tracked goose families. Kölzsch aims to contribute to teaching and provide opportunities for students through internships. She has previously worked with Movebank on the development of a no-code analysis platform for animal tracking data. Additionally, she is involved in the HABITRACK project, focusing on habitat requirements for huntable bird species.
