Research interests:

  • Bioaccumulation and biomagnification of contaminants in Arctic marine organisms
  • Impact of climate on accumulation of contaminants in Arctic food webs
  • Contaminants in lower trophic level organisms
  • “New” and emerging organic contaminants to the Arctic region
  • Plastic and microplastic in the Arctic environment.

Completed national and international projects:
