Arbeidsområde
Mine interesser spenner over flere disipliner innen marinbiologi, fra akvatiske organismers adferd til fiskeribiologi. I min PhD fokuserte jeg på Europeisk hummer og marine bevaringsområder som forvaltningsverktøy. Innenfor den brede faglige betegnelsen marin bevaringsbiologi er jeg interessert i effekter av å restaurere bred alders- og størrelsessammensetning i høstede bestander på reproduksjon, rekruttering og overlevelse. I tillegg er jeg interessert i studier av bevegelse og habitatseleksjon hos marine organsimer i relasjon til livsstadier og overlevelse, og konsekvensene av dette for utforming og plassering av marine bevaringsområder (MPAs). Min forsking på effekter av marine bevaringsområder har hatt fokus på Europeisk hummer og kysttorsk. I årene som kommer vil jeg utvide min forskning på marine bevaringsområder til effekter på utsiden av slike områder. Jeg er medlem av Havforskingsinstituttets dykkerteam og jeg ser på vitenskaplig dykking som et verdifullt og allsidig forskningsverktøy innen marin økologi.
My research interests span across several disciplines in marine science, from behavioural ecology of aquatic organisms to fisheries biology. I did my first scientific work on ecology and evolution of mimicry in coral reef fishes, supervised by Prof. Geoffrey P. Jones (James Cook University, Australia), one of the masters of field experimentation. This work was formative for me in the sense that I have developed a firm belief in the potential and value of properly designed (field) experiments. In my PhD (Centre for Ecological and Evolutionary Synthesis, University of Oslo) I focused on conservation biology of European lobster in marine reserves context. Under the broad marine conservation biology umbrella, I am interested in effects of restoring ‘natural’ age and size structure in harvested populations on reproduction, recruitment and survival. Additionally, I am interested in the study of marine animal movement behaviours and habitat selection in relation to life stage and survival, and its bearings on marine reserve- / MPA design. At present, my research is focused on European lobster and coastal Atlantic cod. In the future I will extend my research on marine reserves to effects beyond their borders (spillover and recruitment effects). As a scientific diver I value SCUBA diving as a versatile and useful research tool in marine ecology.
