I am an Australian researcher, just trying to survive in Norway, one winter at a time. I teach R, Bioegeography and freshwater ecology. I run the blogs Nature According to Sam and Ecology for the Masses. My project is named ODYSSEUS. Young Hercules was taken. We investigate the effects of climate change and invasive species on native European fish communities. Together with institutes in Spain, France and Sweden, the project's end goal is to create decision making support tools for local organizations concerned with freshwater ecosystems management. I also have a passion for mapping species distributions and stopping invasive species wherever they are. You can find me on twitter @samperrinNTNU.
