Førsteamanuensis

  • Seksjon for økologi og naturforvaltning

My long-term research interests lie at the interface of evolutionary ecology, fish ecology, northern aquatic ecology, fisheries, climate change, and intraspecific diversity. I carry out research on the dynamics of aquatic ecosystems and inform their conservation and management, with a primary focus on salmonid systems.

  • Basic and applied science - To generate knowledge and apply it to conservation and management.
  • Aquatic ecology - I primarily work in freshwater and estuary ecosystems, and study fish across their life cycle as well as their communities and ecosystems. 
  • Scale - Individual life-stages, among-individuals, focal populations, watersheds, regional, and continental.
  • Field sampling: Norway, Canada, USA, and Scotland and it is often combined with big data analysis.
  • Analyzes - GIS, time series analyses, telemetry, stable isotopes, fatty acids, otoliths, morphology, genetic, life-history.
  • Collaborative - I work with various partners including: First Nations, DFO, USGS, Great Lakes Fishery Commission, provincial organizations (MFFP, SEPAQ), eNGOs and other organizations.

I am currently involved in several projects:  FISHES  ,  CRÉA_CCScottish Salmon Telemetry (SCENE) , and  Great Bear Lake (DFO) .
