Presentation

Biologist with a M.Sc. on brown trout behaviour eclogy and a Ph.D. on physiology, ecology and evolution in Daphnia sp., a genus within water fleas. Involved primarily in the managment and treatment of alien species in limnic systems of Norway. Also contributing to and previously part of other related areas at the section of environment and infection mitigations, e.g. wild salmonid conservation/cultivation and fish scale analyses.  

Have previously worked on the following topics, in chronological order:

• River bank erosions as a dispersal barrier for salmonids 
• Habitat use of brown trout in an artificial stream, at various densities of conspecifics.
• Transgenerational plasticity in aerobic respiration Daphnia
• Within-generational variation in metabolism of clonal lineages in Daphnia
• Impact of increasing temperatures on critical oxygen levels of Daphnia
• Impacts of hydropower on freshwater ecology, in particular on salmonid fishes.
• Species inventory mapping, related to using eDNA and traditional taxonomy in rotifers of Norway. see Hjuldyrprosjektet
• Coordination and promotion of research at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology related to sustainability within biodiversity and ecosystem services
