# La Science s'aMuse: From seabird migration to Earth movements

Welcome to La science s'aMuse, the scientific program co-produced by the UM and Divergence-FM, which takes you on a cruise through the archipelago of Muse laboratories. This week, CEFE researcher Manon Clairbaux presents the largest-ever study of the effects of global warming on seabird migration. In the second half of the program, Sandrine Baudin and Christel Tiberi show us the seismometer installed at the Restinclières estate by Géosciences Montpellier.

And for this latest stage of our journey, we invite you to enjoy the open sea. Contemplate the movement of the waves, breathe in the sea spray and observe the seabirds that accompany us from port to port. Gulls, of course, but also kittiwakes, puffins, dovekies and guillemots.

These are all species with which our guest of the day is very familiar, having just published the largest-ever study of seabird migration in the journal Global Change Biology. The result of a collaboration between 25 research laboratories, this work focuses on the migratory movements of these birds. Where are their wintering grounds? What are their ecological characteristics? Does global warming have an impact on these areas? More specifically, scientists are wondering what benefits compliance with the Paris agreements - in other words, limiting global warming to 2 degrees Celsius - could have on North Atlantic seabirds. We talk about this today with Manon Clairbaux, a researcher at the Center for Functional and Evolutionary Ecology.

In the second half of the show, we take you to the Domaine de Restinclières. A few kilometers from the town, a strange device, located six meters underground, records ground movements from the Mediterranean Sea to the farthest reaches of Japan. This device is the seismometer for the French Seismological and Geodesic Network, installed there under an agreement with theObservatoire des Sciences de l'Univers OREME. Sandrine Baudin and Christel Tiberi, from the Geosciences Montpellier laboratory, explain all this to us.

La science s'aMuse, you've got the map, let's get on board!
