Tycho Anker-Nilssen

  • Population biologists with expertise in seabird ecology, including
  • Time-series studies of demography, feeding ecology, trophic interactions and other climate-related responses of seabirds since 1981.
  • National mapping and monitoring of seabird distribution and population trends.
  • Studies of seabird movements (using satellite transmitters and loggers), morphometry and population origin.
  • Environmental impact assessments and vulnerability modelling, e.g. related to seabirds and offshore oil exploration.
  • Well experienced with respect to electronic data processing and statistical analyses.
  • Scientific supervisor for a number of MSc students and some experience as a university lecturer and examiner.
  • Long experience in administration and science managing at the project, programme and department levels, and administrative head of NINA's field station in Røst.

Erik Framstad

Main scientific experience covers population and habitat ecology of small mammals in boreal forests and mountain ecosystems. Applied research and consultancy work includes studies and assessments of boreal forest ecology, protected areas, ecological effects of agriculture and forestry on species and ecosystems, environmental impact assessments of infrastructure development projects, as well as assessments, indicators and monitoring of terrestrial biodiversity.

Main administrative experience covers management of NINA's research department in Oslo over > 25 yrs, as well as coordination of terrestrial ecosystem monitoring and major research projects and programmes on boreal forests or cultural landscapes.
