Research area
- Marine physics
- Marine acoustics; main scientific interest is in passive acoustics, i.e. listening to underwater noises and sounds
Why is your research important?
The measurement made during the cruise will help us compare the biomass of Baltic fish from those in the North and Norwegian Seas. The findings will be compared with those collected by another team working aboard s/y Oceania which will provide even more information.
What are your personal motivations?
Conducting these studies is necessary to observe changes in the marine environment and differences between the studied seas. The results of the research can show how climate change can affect resources such as fish.
What are you going to do during the cruise onboard r/v Oceanograf?
I will measure the biomass of marine organisms (fish) during the cruise using a single-beam echosounder. I will focus on organisms making diurnal migrations.
