Department: Bunnsamfunn

I am interested in the spatial ecology and community composition of benthic habitats in the Nordic Seas. I use visual data collected by AUVs and ROVs to explore the distribution and relationships occuring within and between habitats.

Subjectarea

Subjectarea

My PhD focused on understanding the biodiversity and spatial ecology of arctic sponge grounds and other megabenthic communities on an arctic seamount through the use of imagery collected from AUVs and ROVs. 

Curriculum Vitae

I am a researcher with 7+ years of experience using image analysis, image cataloging, habitat mapping, method testing, facilitate AI training, and AUV and ROV surveying techniques to study and characterise benthic and deep-sea communities around the North Sea, Norwegian Seas, and the Arctic Mid-Ocean Ridge.
