Bastiaan (Bas) Klerk
PhD Research Fellow
Job description
Bastiaan is an LL.M. graduate from the University of Oslo (UiO) and the Arctic University of Norway (UiT) in public international law and international law of the sea respectively, currently pursuing a PhD at the Norwegian Center for the Law of the Sea (NCLOS). His academic interests lie mostly in the realm of marine environmental protection, climate change law, biodiversity beyond national jurisdiction, and regime interactions studies. His PhD project is titled Area-Based Management Tools in Changing Oceans: A Study on Dynamism, in which he addresses the challenge of protecting dynamic marine ecosystems, proposing a novel, integrated, and highly dynamic approach to their protection, which, he argues, is more apt to address the challenges that the dynamic nature of marine ecosystems present.
