Andrea Bryndum-Buchholz

I am a marine ecologist and climate-impact researcher. The overarching goal of my research is to shed light on the path ahead for marine conservation and fisheries management in a world facing unabated climate change. In my research I primarily use data generated by marine ecosystem models to answer questions of future marine ecosystem function and structure under different climate change scenarios, and how those changes may affect marine conservation efforts and fisheries management systems. My work tackles global and regional questions and is part of international collaborations. I see a strong connection between doing the science that matters for society and communicating my findings through storytelling. Here, I strive to reach out through scientific literature as well as other media. A good story makes people care. And people who care is what we need to face the challenges of climate change.

I am a postdoctoral researcher at the Fisheries and Marine Institute at Memorial University (Canada) and a MEOPAR postdoctoral fellow. I received my PhD in 2020 from Dalhousie University, during which I have also taught academic writing as a Writing Tutor at the Dalhousie Writing Center. I have received my BSc in Biology from University of Tübingen (Germany) in 2012, and my MSc in Aquatic Ecology from Lund University (Sweden) in 2015.
