Kai Wieland is a senior research scientist at the National Institute of Aquatic Resources, Technical University of Denmark. He has worked earlier at the Greenland Institute of Natural Resources in Nuuk and the Institute for Marine Research in Kiel. Dr. Wieland’s research interests focus on fish and shellfish population dynamics relative to ecological conditions in the North Atlantic waters, and the use of commercial and scientific monitoring surveys to study such populations.
Topics of his recent studies include: effects of bottom type and other environmental factors on catch rates of North Sea cod; coherence in phenology of shrimp and phytoplankton; the relative influence of the fishery and environmental effects on fluctuations in stock size of cod and shrimp in West Greenland waters; and the impact of climate variability on key processes in the recruitment of Baltic cod.
