Structurally, it is most similar to the kittiwakes ; however, recent genetic analysis based on mtDNA sequences shows that Sabine's Gull is the Ivory Gull's closest relative, followed by the kittiwakes, with Ross's Gull and Swallow-tailed Gull sharing a clade with these species.

Two branches of Sabine's work are notable: Determination of the length of the seconds pendulum, a simple pendulum whose time period on the surface of the Earth is two seconds, that is, one second in each direction ; and his research on the Earth's magnetic field.

While most of his research bears on the subjects just mentioned, other research deals with the birds of Greenland ( Sabine's Gull is named for him ), ocean temperatures, the Gulf Stream, barometric measurement of heights, arc of the meridian, glacial transport of rocks, the volcanoes of the Hawaiian Islands, and various points of meteorology.

Occasionally individual Sabine's Gulls can be seen off other coasts such as the northeastern United States or further east in Europe, typically following autumn storms.

Mitochondrial DNA studies confirmed this, and the closest relative of the Sabine's Gull is now thought to be the Ivory Gull, another Arctic species.

The Sabine's Gull is a small gull, in length and weighing.

This gull is traditionally believed to be most closely related to either the kittiwakes, Sabine's Gull, or Ross's Gull.
