Jesper Madsen

 Jesper Madsen has long experience as project and programme co-ordinator and he has acted as advisor to the Danish government, the EU and international conventions. He is specialised in reseach concerning population ecology and coastal zone ecology, with special emphasis on waterbirds in the Arctic and temperate regions, their habitat requirements, anthropogenic effects and habitat restoration. He has published more than 130 scientific papers, books, reports and popular articles. Jesper Madsen has been responsible for several large-scale projects, including experimental studies of the disturbance effects of recreational activities, especially hunting, on waterbird site use. He has played a central role in the process of designing and prioritising a network of hunting and disturbance free refuge areas in Danish wetland SPAs. Recently, he has studied how to integrate bird conservation, land use, shooting and other recreational activities in refuge zonation, with the aim to achieve sustainable use and local user involvement.
 Jesper Madsen has been global coordinator of the Goose Specialist Group of Wetlands International (1987-1997), scientific councillor of the Convention on Migratory Species (1997-2002) and member (appointed specialist regarding hunting management) of the Technical Committee of the African-Eurasian Waterbird Agreement under the Convention)(2000-2002).

New times at au.dk/en

The university’s website is being redesigned. The design and content will therefore change, and you may experience for a while that old and new sections are mixed together, and that the content is not in its usual place.

We hope that the new website will make up for any inconvenience, and that you will enjoy greater coherence throughout and find the website simpler to use.

Why are we making a mess?

In the time ahead, you will notice a mixture of old and new designs in the pages on the website.

In spring 2011, Aarhus University’s nine main academic areas were reduced to four, and the fifty-five departments became twenty-six. This was to unify the organisation and to strengthen the university’s interdisciplinary approach. We are now following suit by restructuring the entire website to ensure more coherence in the content and design.

Such an exercise takes time – and we hope you will bear with us!

Take a short cut

Under the HOT KEY at the top right, you can find links to the most frequently used content on the website, as well as the two new universes for staff and students.

Where can I find it?

Use the new mega dropdowns to get an overview of the website’s content. They open when you run your mouse over the navigation at the top.
