Bio

I’m employed as a senior scientist at the Institute of Marine Research (IMR) in Northern Norway (Tromsø). I work with Russian collages from the Polar Research Institute of Marine Fisheries and Oceanography (PINRO) to continue a long term monitoring of mega-benthos of the Barents Sea. These data are used for publications (see Research Gate) and in working Groups within the Arctic Council (CBMP_Marine) and the Norwegian Management plan. I lead a "Coast and Fiord" Flagship in the FRAM center in Tromsø for providing science based advises for management of the Norwegian Arctic, including Svalbard.
