Max Lindmark

I use statistical and mathematical models to study ecological impacts of climate change to improve our understanding and management of marine ecosystems.

Specifically, my research focuses mainly on:

• Impacts of climate change on species distributions
• Climate effects on the growth, body size and size-structure of fishes
• Spatiotemporal modelling of ecological processes
• Dynamics and structure of size-based food webs using process-based modelling (for this line of research, I’m also involved in the FishMIP)
