Dr. Eldbjørg Sofie Heimstad is Research Director at NILU’s office at The Fram Centre.

Heimstad holds a Ph.D. degree in physical chemistry from the University of Tromsø from 1996 and started the same year as a researcher at NILU. She has had many projects that have investigated the behaviour and potential harmful effects of pollutants in animals and ecosystems, both using theoretical and experimental methods.

Heimstad has over 25 years of experience with environmental chemistry research and collaboration in The Fram Centre, where she was head of the flagship programme ‘Environmental toxins – effects on ecosystems and health’ for 10 years. She was chair of the Research Leadership Group in the period 2019-2023 and representative of FLG in the Steering Group at The Fram Centre in the period 2021-2023.

A strong motivation for Heimstad is how the results of research can provide useful knowledge for the policy makers, business and society, and how we can best collaborate across different disciplines and sectors to make use of the best knowledge.

Eldbjørg Sofie Heimstad has 50 publications at NILU:
