About
Background
Doctoral degree (Dr scient) in zoophysiology/physiological cold-adaptations at Department of Biology, NTNU 2005. Post doc, VISTA/NTNU 2005-2009, Post doc Roskilde University 2009-2014. Teacher competence 2016.
Research
My two main areas of research:
- Cold-adaptations in ectotherms – How cold-blooded organisms survive body temperatures below the melting point of their body fluids.
- Toxicity of CO2 at Oceanic depth – Marine biological/physiological effects of leakage of CO2 from subsea storage.
Subjects explored in the research include nucleation theory, Hofmeister-effects, solubility of substances and gasses, the Kelvin-effect, colligative properties of solutions, osmosis, electrochemical gradients.
