Jonas Hentati Sundberg

Senior Lecturer at the Department of Aquatic Resources, Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, Sweden. September 2021 - 

Associate Senior Lecturer at the Department of Aquatic Resources, Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, Sweden. September 2017 - 2021.  

PhD from Stockholm Resilience Centre (Stockholm University) 2015. PhD thesis title: "SEA CHANGE - Social-ecological co-evolution in Baltic Sea fisheries". 

Research interests: 

- The use of Ai for biodiversity monitoring and applied research, in particular using video suveillance, animal-borne loggers and sailing drones, in marine systems. 

- Novel hydro-acoustical tools (eg. broadband hydroacoustics, marine drones) for fish data collection 

- Interactions between fish-eating seabirds (particularly common guillemot), fish stocks and fisheries. 

- Dynamics of linked social-ecological systems (such as fisheries) and the role of management in shaping fisheries and other resource use systems. 

I'm studying seabirds at Stora Karlsö in the Baltic Sea, where AI is increasingly used to monitor the birds' daily life. See more here: here and here. 

Since November 2019, my department SLU Aqua owns a sailing drone (SLU Aqua Sailor) which can collect high resolution fish data for extended periods (weeks - months) completely without CO2 emissions. Read more about this here.
