This week, we’re excited to welcome Joe Parkinson to our team at DTU Sustain. Joseph’s Industrial PhD project, in collaboration with Sund & Bælt, tackles the biodiversity crisis in marine environments with innovative solutions not yet applied in a Danish context. This is particularly important as the unique low-salinity environments of Denmark’s inner waters provide a distinctive habitat for marine life. Marine infrastructure plays a key role in supporting societal and economic needs, but it also impacts marine ecosystems during construction and operation. Over time, bridges, piers, and other structures often become home to species typically found in natural habitats, such as native boulder reefs. But how comparable are the biodiversity and ecosystem services between these artificial and natural habitats? And can we enhance this function in the future? Joseph’s research will explore these critical questions and contribute to designing infrastructure that better supports marine ecosystems for the future. Welcome, Joseph - we look forward to following your exciting work! 🌍 #MarineBiodiversity #PhDResearch #Sustainability #Infrastructure #Biodiversity The PhD Association DTU DTU - Technical University of Denmark Sund & Bælt Holding A/S
