Overview

Svein Sundby is affiliated with the Bjerknes Centre for Climate Research in Norway. Their research primarily spans Environmental Science and Earth and Planetary Sciences, with significant focus on subfields such as Global and Planetary Change, Nature and Landscape Conservation, Oceanography, Ecology, and Earth-Surface Processes.

The scientist's work addresses a range of topics related to marine and fisheries research, fish ecology and management studies, marine bivalve and aquaculture studies, marine and coastal ecosystems, oceanographic and atmospheric processes, ocean waves and remote sensing, and isotope analysis in ecology.

Recent publications include:

  • Factors affecting the vertical distribution of eggs (2025), published in the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES)
  • Highly mixed impacts of near-future climate change on stock productivity proxies in the North East Atlantic (2021), published in Fish and Fisheries
  • Management of transboundary and straddling fish stocks in the Northeast Atlantic in view of climate-induced shifts in spatial distribution (2020), published in Fish and Fisheries
  • Long-Term Statistics of Observed Bubble Depth Versus Modeled Wave Dissipation (2020), published in Journal of Geophysical Research Oceans
  • Comparison of visual and molecular taxonomic methods to identify ichthyoplankton in the North Sea (2020), published in Limnology and Oceanography Methods

Frequent co-authors collaborating with Sundby include Olav Sigurd Kjesbu, Anders Thorsen, Anne Britt Sandø, Jan Erik Stiansen, and Geir Huse.

The scientist has contributed multiple publications to several venues with repeated appearances in Fish and Fisheries, Deep Sea Research Part II Topical Studies in Oceanography, and Fisheries Oceanography, among others.

In 2015, Sundby was recognized as a Member of the Academia Europaea.
