Research interest and experience: End-to-end and ecosystem models (in particular Atlantis and NORWECOM.E2E), mainly with focus on the Barents and Nordic Seas. Use these to explore combined climate and management scenarios, management strategy evaluations, ocean acidification, invasive species and the effects of these on the ecosystem structure and function. Ecosystem characterization and ecosystem based approaches to management in regions with varying intensity of monitoring.
