Mathias Brink Kjeldgaard

Mathias Brink Kjeldgaard NIVA mbk@niva.no I am a PhD student at NIVA working in the SABICAS project, where I will focus on the effect of nature-based solutions, like recovery of riparian vegetation and wet marks, in the catchments of Gausa and Halden. My main scientific interests are freshwater ecology, biodiversity and food webs. Before moving to Oslo, I have been working as a student assistant in NIVA Denmark, and I did my master’s thesis in biology at the University of Copenhagen in collaboration with NIVA where I studied the effects of anthropogenic impacts on fish species composition and food webs in streams in Myanmar. I am keen about this project, and I am excited to be take part of research focusing on sustainable solutions that will benefit biodiversity and important habitat types as well as human wellbeing.
