About

Short info

My research activity focus on how climate changes affect mesopelagic fish and crustaceans and deep-sea ecosystems in west Norwegian fjords. My responsibility is also to coordinate the (20 ECTS) Ocean Science course (BIO325) where I teach Module 2 (Marine Ecological Field Methods).

Research

Environmental influence on fish behaviour and ecosystem functioning.  Model organisms are marine and freshwater fish. I work in the field and  with experiments.

Climate change and sustainability in Norwegian fjords

The anthropogenic pressure on Norwegian fjords is increasing, and there are repeated reports on deteriorating conditions in the deep fjord basins. Meanwhile, climate trends in the offshore waters affect the renewal of these deep-basin waters. 

To sustainably manage our fjords, we need to understand how present and past changes in the physical and geo-chemical environment impact the fjord ecosystem. 

The main objective of CLIFORD is to study how climate change will alter the carrying capacity of Norwegian fjords and improve modelling tools.
