    Research interests

    Vertical distribution and aggregation of plankton and particles, and correlation with environmental factors and other species (habitat choice) using Video Plankton Recorder data from North Norwegian fjords

    Plankton in NE Greenland fjords and shelf - TUNU expeditions

    Overwintering strategies and diapause in small copepods, timing of life history events (phenology)

    Copepod taxonomy (primarily Pseudocalanus)

    Other plankton groups: hydromedusae, appendiculareans, ostracods

    Teaching

    I have taught at BSc and MSc level since the mid-90's. Currently, I am "pilot" for Bio-2010 (Marine Ecology) and I also teach on Bio-3516 (Foodwebs and fisheries; co-pilot) and Bio-3031 (a lab exercise).

    Earlier teaching includes being course leader for the MSc courses "Production and Growth in Polar Areas" and "Experimental design in Marine Biology".
