(C) Jakob Thyrring

Jakob Thyrring, Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellow at Aarhus University, Denmark, is an ecological physiologist with extensive field experience in Arctic regions. Through field and laboratory experiments, his research aims to understand the biological impact of climatic changes on Arctic coastal communities, with special interest in the macrophysiology and biogeography of Mytilus mussels. 

He is a member of the Danish council on invasive species, and he has advised stakeholders and politicians at all levels (e.g., the US government) on coastal management in a climate change perspective.
