Dr.
Gudrun Marteinsdóttir
is a professor of Fishery Sciences at University of Iceland. She
has coordinated many international and national research projects
on structure, reproduction and dynamics of cod and other commercially
important species (see f.ex. METACOD).
Her most recent focus has been on life history evolution and local
adaptation of cod populations and phenotypically distinct behavioral
types. CV

Dr.
Bruce McAdam is
a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Iceland
producing computer models relating to the Icelandic cod stock.
After qualifying with a PhD in computer science, he worked for
two years as a computer science lecturer before completing a masters
degree in ecology with a project on birds and windfarms. Before
moving to Iceland he then worked on the EU UNCOVER project about
managing fish stocks to promote
recovery.

Dr.
Heidi Pardoe is a postdoctoral researcher at the University of
Iceland. Her research investigates the drivers of the observed
life history, behavioural and genetic variation in the Icelandic
cod stock, and tries to understand the importance of that complexity
for the persistence and sustainable management of this commercial
fish stock. Heidi's research utilises statistical, life history
and ecological models, and is a continuation of her PhD studies,
which she completed in 2009 at the University of Iceland. CV

Dr.
Gunnar
Stefánsson is a professor in statstics and the director
of the Statistical
Center at University of Iceland. He has coordinated many international
and national projects on statistical modeling of marine ecosystems
(see f.ex. GADGET). CV

Dr
Jörundur
Svavarsson is a Professor of Marine Sciences at University of
Iceland. He has coordinated many international and national projects
on ecology and taxonomy of marine invertebrates. CV |
 |
Dr.Marianne
Helene Rasmussen is the director of the Húsavík
Research Center at University of Iceland. The focus of this center
is to conduct research on marine mammals. She started her studies
on white-beaked dolphins in Iceland for her Master project and
continued to do her Ph.D. about the acoustic communication in
white-beaked dolphins. After finishing her PhD she has been involved
in research
projects about humpback whales, blue whales and killer whales.

Dr. Kai Logemann
is a research
scientist
at the university of Iceland. After graduating in physical oceanography
at the University of Hamburg, Germany, he worked in several European
research projects as a hydrodynamic modeller of the Nordic Seas/Arctic
Ocean system. He obtained a PhD for his work on model development,
simulation and analysis of deep sea thermodynamics. After moving
to Iceland, he further developed his adaptive grid computer ocean
model which meanwhile produces multi-decadal, high-resolution simulations
of the hydrodynamics around Iceland. |
Visiting
Lecturers

Dr. Steven
Campana is
a Senior Scientist at the Bedford Institute of Oceanography, where
he has worked for the past 25 years. There he directs an active
research program on the population dynamics of sharks and other
fishes. He currently heads both the Canadian Shark Research Laboratory
and the Otolith Research Laboratory, and leads several multinational
projects on age determination, stock discrimination and the overall
status and health of shark populations.

Dr. Timothy
Grabowski, a former research scientist at the University of Iceland,
is now Assistant Professor at Texas Tech University in Lubbock,
and Assistant Unit Leader - Fisheries at the Texas Cooperative
Fish and Wildlife Research Unit with the U.S. Geological Survey.
His research focuses on the behavioral and physiological ecology
of fishes with an emphasis on the conservation and management
of threatened and endangered species.CV

 |
Dr. David
Conover is Professor at the School of Marine and Atmospheric
Sciences, Stony Brook University, USA. His research interests involve
the ecology and evolutionary biology of fishes and fisheries science.
David and his team seek to understand the adaptive significance
of reproductive, behavioral, physiological, or life history traits
in fishes and to extend this knowledge to fundamental problems in
resource management.

Dr.
Olav Sigurd Kjesbu
is principal scientist at the Institute of Marine Research, Bergen,
Norway. His main scientific interests are fish reproductive biology,
recruitment studies and related live-fish experiments. He has been
the head of several research groups, project and programs. Recently
he was the co-ordinator for RASER.
The IMR Applied Fish Reproductive Biology Laboratory is considered
to be among the most modern ones in the world within its field using
advanced histological/stereological techniques and automated image
analysis. CV |
