About
Malin Daase is a marine ecologist whose research centers on the Arctic marine ecosystem, with a particular focus on zooplankton ecology and the application of autonomous technology for ocean monitoring. Her major contributions lie in bridging the gap between traditional ship-based sampling and modern, persistent observation systems. Daase has been instrumental in demonstrating how autonomous surface and underwater vehicles—such as the Sailbuoy, Wave Glider, and Sea glider—can revolutionize our understanding of low and mid-trophic level organisms. Her work on the GLIDER project, for instance, has revealed new discoveries in the Arctic Ocean, showcasing a cost-effective, flexible approach to offshore monitoring. Notably, her 2019 study on autonomous surface vehicles for acoustic monitoring of zooplankton in highly productive shelf areas (10 citations) provides critical insights into the spatial and temporal distribution of these key species. By integrating fisheries research echosounders on unmanned platforms, Daase is enabling persistent, high-resolution data collection that was previously impossible, fundamentally advancing our ability to study and manage polar marine ecosystems in a changing climate.
