IVL

Swedish Environmental Research Institut

I'm a senior researcher in marine ecology/ecotoxicology. I work broadly on the impacts of pollutants such as microplastics, heavy metals and underwater noise on marine life, particularly crustaceans and other invertebrates. I also works with development of sustainable marine aquaculture.

I'm a research assistant involved in different toxicology projects at IVL. Right now I mainly work on effect study of biodegradable microplastics on lugworm.

I'm a marine biologist at heart and much of my research has used molecular ecological methods. Population genetics, conservation genetics, transcriptomics, whole genome sequencing, comparative genomics, etc. Now I work a lot with eDNA to describe biodiversity but also use the same method to look for invasive and endangered species. I have also worked as an environmental consultant for various industries, usually focusing on issues related to water. At IVL, I am part of the on call oil team.

I'm a senior researcher focusing on bivalve aquaculture, it’s interactions with the marine environment, and how it can contribute to sustainable food production. I work with a variety of analytical techniques such as fatty acid biomarkers and stable isotopes to understand how bivalve aquaculture utilizes marine resources (e.g., phytoplankton and detritus) as well as how changes in the environment (changes in food availability, climate change, etc.) affect the growth and quality of cultured bivalves.

As a laboratory technician, I work in all of IVL's projects, which include a great deal of fieldwork involving sample handling both in the field and in the laboratory.
As a site coordinator, I provide administrative support on behalf of IVL, assisting my workgroup with various types of support.

RISE

Research Institutes of Sweden

Infrastructure and Concrete Technology

I'm a researcher and engineer working in new cement-based materials with improved sustainability and improved durability. I work with testing of concrete elements for marine energy concerning bio-fouling and durability.

Matz Berggren
Department of Marine 91̽»¨s

I am interested in the biodiversity and habitat choice of eumalacostraca crustacea. My focus has been on different habitat-dwelling shrimps in the tropics! Depending on the environment, different methods are needed. I work with different questions of intimate associations of shrimps and its host animal. 

Isabel Casties
Department of Biological and Environmental 91̽»¨s

I work with national environmental monitoring of hydrography and chemistry, as well as pelagic biology (phytoplankton, zooplankton, and jellyfish) in the Gullmar fjord. I identify zooplankton and study how the plankton community, as the foundation of the marine ecosystem, changes over time.

Zara Cowan
Department of Biological and Environmental 91̽»¨s

I work on a range of species, investigating which life stages of fish are most vulnerable to climate warming, the physiological mechanisms underlying vulnerability to temperature extremes, and life stage sensitivities in the natural environment. Climate change is increasing the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events, including heatwaves. This is a particular concern for ectothermic animals, such as fish.

Diana Deyanova
Department of Biological and Environmental 91̽»¨s

Part of my work and interests are focused on marine plant ecophysiology. I work mostly with seagrass photosynthesis and primary productivity in relation to different stressors or environmental factors. I am currently part of a marine monitoring program focused on the pelagic systems in the Gullmar fjord as part of the national Swedish environmental monitoring. I work with mega, meso and microzooplankton identification, primary production and physicochemical parameters.

Sam Dupont
Department of Biological & Environmental 91̽»¨s

I work with the effect of human impacts on marine life, and also the development of innovative science communication and education strategies to tackle global challenges.

Leon Green
Department of Biological & Environmental 91̽»¨s

My research focuses on the ecology and evolution of animals in changing marine environments. I mostly use invasive species, particularly invasive fish, as models for these processes. The understanding of biological invasions are also important for conservation management, and much of my current work is done to support management agencies in their strategies.

Martin Hassellöv
Department of Marine 91̽»¨s

I lead the research group on marine environmental nanochemistry, studying marine pollution in its solid form, from nanometer scale to the ecosystem level. The marine environment is subjected today to multiple stressors, including ocean acidification, climate change, overfishing and pollution.

Department of Biological & Environmental 91̽»¨s

My research group at the Seagrass Ecology Lab examines bio-physical interactions that affect benthic ecosystems with key projects focusing on coastal restoration, ecological feedbacks, tipping points and plant-sediment-flow interactions.

Karin Mattsson
Department of Marine 91̽»¨s

I'm a researcher in the marine environmental nanochemistry group and work with anthropogenic particles including micro- and nanoplastics particles. I'm interested in methods for identifying and characterizing particles in the environment but also sources and distribution as well as plastic fragmentation and degradation processes.

Linda Svanberg
Department of Biological and Environmental 91̽»¨s

I work as research technician in different projects, for example in a plankton monitoring program where I measure primary production and identify zooplankton. I also work in different projects where I help run experiments and cultures. The focus right now is on lobsters and sea cucumbers, and sustainable aquaculture with said species.

Elena Tamarit Castro
Department of Earth 91̽»¨s

I do experimental work with Atlantic cod and climate change stressors.

Laurenz Thomsen
Department of Marine 91̽»¨s

I'm interested in the impact of global warming on the seabed. With an interdisciplinary approach and remote-controlled robots, I tackle the challenges of our time. 

Tim Wilkinson
Department of Marine 91̽»¨s

Within the Marine Nanochemistry group, I am involved in projects developing state-of-the-art technology and approaches to marine observation and monitoring, with a focus on particulate pollution, and lab- and field-based spectroscopy. I am particularly engaged in efforts to establish a reproducible analytical pipeline for microplastics monitoring in Europe.
