PASSAGE
Dr. Marina Santos had spent fifteen years studying the migration patterns of Arctic terns, birds that travel from Arctic to Antarctic and back each year—a journey of roughly 44,000 miles. But as she stood on the research platform in the Bering Sea, watching her tagged birds veer dramatically eastward instead of following their traditional route, she realized that her life's work had become a monument to a world that no longer existed. Climate change had altered wind patterns, shifted food sources, and transformed the very geography of ice that had guided these remarkable navigators for millennia. The birds were adapting, but her carefully constructed models and predictions were now as obsolete as paper maps in a digital age.
What does the phrase "her life's work had become a monument to a world that no longer existed" suggest about Dr. Santos's research?
