Overview

Per Berggren is affiliated with Newcastle University in the United Kingdom and specializes in environmental science with a focus on marine and ecological studies. Their research covers a range of areas including nature and landscape conservation, ecology, oceanography, global and planetary change, and atmospheric science.

The primary topics addressed in their work include marine animal studies overview, ichthyology and marine biology, fish ecology and management studies, underwater acoustics research, marine and fisheries research, Arctic and Antarctic ice dynamics, and fish biology and ecology studies.

Frequent publication venues where Berggren's work appears include The Journal of Cetacean Research and Management (Special issue), Fish and Fisheries, PLoS ONE, Aquatic Conservation Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, and bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory).

Related Online Degrees & Career Pathways

As you explore academic paths in Ecology and Evolution, you may find that your interests overlap with related fields in psychology and counseling. Many students combine knowledge of natural sciences with a deeper understanding of human behavior and mental health, which is increasingly valuable in both research and applied settings.

For example, those interested in the intersection of biology and psychology often transition into roles that require specialized training. Consider pursuing high paying jobs in forensic psychology, where expertise in human behavior is essential for working within legal and criminal justice systems.

If your passion lies in developmental or educational contexts, a child and adolescent psychology masters provides the necessary foundation to support youth and influence positive change. Alternatively, exploring online master degree programs in counseling can broaden your skill set, preparing you for a variety of practitioner roles.

For those who wish to pursue a clinical focus, accredited online clinical psychology programs offer flexible options for earning advanced credentials and meeting licensure requirements.
