Research interests:

  • Physical oceanography
  • Coasts and fjords (Norway, Svalbard, Barents Sea)
  • Numerical modeling
  • Coupling between oceanography and biology (plankton, benthos, salmonids, seabirds)

Running national and international projects:

  • Nordlus: Spatiotemporal distribution of salmon lice in Northern Norwegian fjords, managed by IMR. Funded by NFR through RFFNORD 2015-2018
  • RegLice: Regional lice assessment – towards a model based management system, managed by IMR. Funded by NFR 2015-2018
  • ModOIE: Mesoscale modeling of Ice, Ocean and Ecology of the Arctic Ocean, managed by Akvaplan-niva. Funded by Fram centre 2012-2016
  • KongHiro: Effects of oceanic inflow and glacial runoff on fjord circulation in Kongsfjorden, Svalbard; establishment of a high resolution ocean circulation model system. Managed by NPI, funded by Fram Centre 2014-2016
  • TIGRIF: TIdewater Glacier Retreat Impact on Fjord circulation and ecosystems. Managed by NPI. Funded by NFR 2015-2018
