Øystein Wiig

Natural History Museum, University of Oslo

Professor emeritus in mammalogy at Natural History Museum, University of Oslo. Research primarily related to Arctic marine mammals, in particular polar bears, walrus and bowhead whales. The studies are management oriented and related to movement patterns and distribution of populations. Many studies are related to levels of pollution in the marine environment. The research is also related to the systematics of terrestrial carnivores. In later years, the research has an increased focus on genetic analyses of ancient and contemporary tissue samples from Arctic mammals in order to assess population structure. Since 2014, scientific leader of several projects on the effects of mining operations on red listed mammals in Paragominas, Brazil. Has published about 220 research articles in international scientific journals.
