Over the course of more than 17 years studying the Eleonora's falcon population on this arid site, Laura has discovered a surprising synchronization of the falcon with the trade winds, on which it depends for survival. Her work links the survival of this species' nestlings to changes in wind patterns on a global scale, making them bioindicators of climate change.
