About me
I am a marine ecologist and climate-impact researcher. The overarching goal of my research is to shed light on the path ahead for marine conservation and fisheries management in a world facing climate change. In my research, I primarily use data generated by marine ecosystem models to answer questions of future marine ecosystem function and structure under different climate change scenarios, and how those changes affect marine conservation efforts and fisheries management systems. My work tackles global and regional questions and is part of international collaborations. I see a strong connection between doing the science that matters for society and communicating my findings through storytelling in my scientific writing as well as other media (see OUTREACH). A good story makes people care. And people who care are needed to face the challenges of climate change.
I am a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Fisheries and Marine Institute, Memorial University of Newfoundland in Canada. Prior, I was a postdoctoral fellow at the Department of Biology of Dalhousie University (Canada) and a MEOPAR Postdoctoral Fellow 2002-2021. I received my PhD in 2020 from Dalhousie University, during which I have taught academic writing as a Writing Tutor at the Dalhousie Writing Center. I have received my BSc in Biology from the University of Tübingen in Germany in 2012, and my MSc in Aquatic Ecology from Lund University in Sweden in 2015. |
