Research interests:

• Marin ecology with study focus on following themes:
• Colonization, succession and long term variation in biodiversity and trophic relationships of benthic communities on rocky bottom substrates
• Composition and importance of sympagic (=sea ice) communities in polar food chains (Arctic; Antarctica)
• Underwater photography and image analysis as a tool in benthic research
• Systematics, ecology and geographical distribution of species within the animal class Ascidiacea (Subphylum Tunicata)
