Welcome

I'm an associate professor at the Department of Chemistry and Bioscience at Aalborg University in Denmark, sharing my time between teaching freshwater ecology, biological field methods and ecosystem modelling and research.
​
​Here you will find information on my research, publications and teaching activity and you can also find my contact details. Send me an email if you are interested in working with me!
​Thanks for visiting.
What' s new?

August 2022: New publication out in the New Zealand Journal of Marine and Freshwater Research - How to identify the "right" stakeholders to collaborate with in freshwater management? Read here

March 2022: The new IPCC report is out. I contributed to Chapter 2 - Terrestrial and Freshwater
Ecosystems and Their Services. It's a long read, or check out the summary.

February 2022: Back to my PhD thesis topic! New review publication out, led by the fantastic Alisha Steward, on the terrestrial and semi-aquatic invertebrate fauna of intermittent rivers and ephemeral streams. Read here
January 2022: ​New opinion piece out in Conservation Biology: Why should we keep the virtual conference format in the future? Read here
October 2021: New articles are out!
This one explains how to integrate people's cultural values in freshwater management using a structured and transparent MCDA-based approach with a real-world case study; Lake Wanaka and its catchment in New Zealand.
And this one discusses how building an alliance between conservation journals and researchers could help promote freshwater biodiversity conservation.
May 2021: I am giving a seminar on how artificial intelligence can help our society towards becoming more sustainable during our AI-summer course. Click to see the teaser!
April 2021: Out now! My NZ summer students' report on the elicitation and clustering of community preferences for the development of a management plan across Blueskin estuary (Aotearoa New Zealand).
April 2021: New preprint available that explains how we used Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis to integrate indigenous and western cultural values with ecological and socio-economic ones in the development of a management plan for the Wanaka catchment in Aotearoa/New Zealand.  This study is exciting, because it is the first one that shows how all of these plural values can be woven together to create a management plan collaboratively with a local community.
November 2020: Short youtube clip on my SABER CULTURAL project including some of the main results
July 2020: BC3 is still working from home. What I do and other members of the ARIES group, you can now hear/see on Twitter.
June 2020: The Community Catchment Plan for Wanaka has been finalized. Read it in The Wanaka App. Download the whole document or the summary.
February 2020:
This video explains how we approach to integrate knowledge in the k.Lab group at BC3. A very light introduction to k.LAB and Integrated Modelling for non-technical audiences.
New (and first PhD)-paper (!) by Martin Friedrichs-Manthey on the effect of sub-catchment size on predicted habitat suitability (tested in the Danube catchment for 50 native fish species)
January 2020: I just moved from New Zealand to Spain. Still settling in, while finishing the Periodic Reporting to the EC.

September 2019: Art + Science collaboration exhibition “Art and Water: Mountains to the Sea” in the Otago Museum. Come and check out how the Photographer Annemarie Hope-Cross interpreted SABER CULTURAL
February 2019: SABER CULTURAL in "The News"
August 2018: My intern Ingrid Thyr produced three podcasts about Lake Wanaka, lake management, community collaboration and cultural values
