| I am an aquatic ecologist studying fish populations and lake food webs, with a primary focus on the trophic ecology of salmonids in subarctic lakes. I have used stable isotope analyses and space-for-time modelling to study how e.g. lake morphometry, productivity, climatic conditions, community composition and human impacts, such as hydropower-induced water level regulation and species' introductions, affect native fish species and the structure and function of lake food webs. Moreover, I have studied the environmental issues associated with migration barriers in river networks in Norway and Finland.
