Personal profile
Research Interests
1. Population dynamics of Calanus species within the northeastern Atlantic
2. Species distribution in relation to ocean currents
3. Bottom-up and top-down influences on zooplankton
Research interests
Throughout my PhD I focused on zooplankton and factors influencing zooplankton variability within the Norwegian Sea. I have been a member of the WGNIOR working group since 2017, which focuses on the state of the Norwegian Sea.
