    Hilde's research interests concern public international law, and more specifically, the law of the sea. She is especially interested in the interaction between law and science (within the law of the sea), but also marine scientific research, maritime delimitation, and the legal regime for the continental shelf. Other interests include environmental law, indigenous peoples' rights, the whaling regime, and the legal framework for the Arctic.
