Overview

Morten Frederiksen is affiliated with Aarhus University in Denmark and has an extensive research portfolio primarily focused on environmental science. Their scholarly output encompasses various aspects of ecology, global climate dynamics, and biodiversity conservation, reflecting a multidisciplinary approach within the environmental sciences.

The main field of study for Frederiksen is environmental science, with specific subfields including ecology, global and planetary change, atmospheric science, ecological modeling, and nature and landscape conservation. The variety of these subfields underscores an emphasis on understanding both terrestrial and marine ecological systems as well as their interactions with changing climatic conditions.

Their research covers multiple topics, prominently featuring avian ecology and behavior, wildlife ecology and conservation, species distribution in relation to climate change, marine and fisheries research, ecology and biodiversity studies, Arctic and Antarctic ice dynamics, and marine animal studies. These topics highlight a broad interest in species interactions, habitat use, and environmental pressures affecting biodiversity at different scales.

Frederiksen has contributed to several publication venues with recurring appearances in:

  • Journal für Ornithologie
  • Current Biology
  • Marine Ecology Progress Series
  • Marine Biology
  • Ardea

They have several notable recent papers, including:

  • Climate change in the Baltic Sea region: a summary, 2022, Earth System Dynamics
  • Multispecies tracking reveals a major seabird hotspot in the North Atlantic, 2021, Conservation Letters
  • North Atlantic winter cyclones starve seabirds, 2021, Current Biology
  • Foraging range scales with colony size in high-latitude seabirds, 2022, Current Biology
  • Cold comfort: Arctic seabirds find refugia from climate change and potential competition in marginal ice zones and fjords, 2021, AMBIO

Collaborations with frequent co-authors are evident, highlighting interdisciplinary teamwork within the field. Among the most frequent co-authors are Flemming Ravn Merkel, Jannie Fries Linnebjerg, Anders Mosbech, Þorkell Lindberg Þórarinsson, and Nicholas Per Huffeldt. These partnerships suggest an active role in collective research initiatives.

In addition to journal articles, Frederiksen has also published books, including a work with King's College London titled "Species thresholds: review of methods to support the EU Marine Strategy Framework Directive" published in 2021. Another book publication with TemaNord is "Oversigt over ringmærknings- og genfundsdata for ederfugl i Østersø/Nordsøområdet" from 2022.
