Malte Willmes is a researcher with nine years of experience applying geochemical tracers and isotope ecology to study fish habitat use and movement, notably for Chinook Salmon, Delta and Longfin Smelt, and White Sturgeon in the San Francisco Estuary. With a PhD in Geosciences and a career spanning ANU, UC Davis, UC Santa Cruz, and NINA, he blends LA-ICPMS/TIMS otolith microchemistry, GIS analysis, and long-term ecological monitoring to deliver science that informs fisheries management and conservation. He has moved between academic and applied research roles—including a NOAA collaborative postdoc and current positions at NINA and the Ronin Institute—bringing field-scale questions into trace-element and isotope-based solutions. Based in Trondheim, Malte pairs deep methodological expertise with a track record of building databases and analytical workflows (e.g., IRHUM development during his PhD), making his work both technically rigorous and directly policy-relevant.
