Reference excerpt

Olav Sigurd Kjesbu (born 13 June 1956) is a Norwegian fisheries biologist/Chief Scientist at the Institute of Marine Research (IMR) in Bergen. He is the director of the Hjort Centre for Marine Ecosystem Dynamics. Bergen is one of the largest marine knowledge hubs in the world and the Hjort Centre is a central part of this research cluster. In addition he also holds a position as adjunct professor at Centre for Ecological and Evolutionary Synthesis (CEES), University of Oslo, Oslo. Kjesbu got his PhD in 1988 and became principal scientist in 1996. His research expertise falls within reproductive biology and recruitment dynamics of marine fish. He is an expert on Northeast Atlantic cod, currently the largest cod stock in the world. Kjesbu has been active in or leading development co-operation projects, especially with Centro Investigaciones Pesqueras (CIP), Havana through the Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation (NORAD). Kjesbu was selected as one out four "Norwegian leading experts on arctic-related marine research" in the mobile European exhibition of the University of Oslo The legacy of Fridtjof Nansen Archived 2015-11-17 at the Wayback Machine (150th birthday), where he represented the field of marine biology.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Olav Sigurd Kjesbu

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Olav Sigurd Kjesbu claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In biology, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Olav Sigurd Kjesbu before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Olav Sigurd Kjesbu ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Olav Sigurd Kjesbu

In research: Olav Sigurd Kjesbu appears in biology research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Olav Sigurd Kjesbu in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Olav Sigurd Kjesbu is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1956 births, 20th-century Norwegian zoologists, Arctic research, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Olav Sigurd Kjesbu outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
