Research Interests	Top ^
Biodiversity and ecology of subtidal benthic systems in North Sea and (Atlantic) Ocean. Soft bottom fauna and cold water coral ecosystems. Interactions with environmental factors, food web relations incl. the role of larger mobile epifauna and fish, and larval supply. Impact of human activities (fisheries) and climate change on structure and functioning of benthic ecosystems. Effects of marine protected areas (e.g. wind farms) on benthic ecosystems. Further development of towed gear (benthos dredge Triple-D to sample fauna too low abundant to be estimated by traditional grabs), and autonomous instruments (video imaging) for in-situ sampling and measurements on landers (e.g. ALBEX, ALTRAP).
