Edit my page

I have worked extensively in the Brazilian Amazon for more than 20 years, but also work in other Amazonian countries and in Africa and Asia. My interests in tropical ecology and conservation are broad and research includes studies of plant-animal interactions, animal movements, ecology and seasonality of floodplain forests, impacts of land-use change on biodiversity, and ecology and management of non-timber forest resources.

I received my PhD from the University of East Anglia (UEA), Norwich, UK, in 2004, for which I examined the structure and dynamics of plant and animal communities in a large mosaic of floodplain and terra firme forest in the Brazilian Amazon. Subsequently, I held a post-doc position based at the National Institute for Amazonian Research (INPA, Manaus, Brazil) and UEA, investigating the ecology of the Brazil nut tree.

    NMBU bærekraftsarena: Integrering av planetens tålegrenser i vitenskap, politikk og utdanning
    Å ivareta menneskenes behov innenfor planetens tålegrenser er kjernen i bærekraftsprinsippet. Det står i skarp kontrast til dagens rådende livsstil hvor forbruk og ubegrenset økonomisk vekst forfektes.

    Hva driver katten din med?
    Katten er et populært husdyr, men vi vet lite om hva den gjør når den er utendørs. I samarbeid med barnefamilier skal vi GPS-merke kattene deres og finne ut av hva de driver med. Resultatene skal samles inn og formidles av barna i familien.
