Bastiaan is an evolutionary biologist and associated professor at the University of Oslo, Norway. I am interested in historical ecology and conservation genomics and use a range of genomic tools (including ancient DNA) to investigate how genetic variation, population structure and population size have changed over time during the onset of human exploitation and ecological globalization. I have a particular interest in the marine environment, performing research into a broad range of marine organisms across the globe. I very much enjoy collaborating with archaeologists, zooarchaeologists, historians and ecologists to study modern and ancient specimens up to thousands of years old..
