Kate Crosman is a social scientist with expertise in the complex governance of oceans and coasts doing a post doc at the Department of Marine Technology at NTNU and NTNU AMOS. She’s spending 3 years in Norway as an André Hoffmann Fellow in Big Ocean Data, studying trustworthiness and trust in big data for ocean decision-making. In this blog, Kate is writing about cognitive biases associated with processing information, and how they might influence the fishery for Calanus finmarchicus – a tiny plankton species that became a starting point for her research.
