Yajie Liu serves as an Associate Professor at UiT The Arctic University of Norway's Norwegian Fisheries College in Tromsø, where she conducts research on fisheries economics, climate change impacts, and marine ecosystem services valuation. Her work spans Arctic fisheries management, aquaculture economics, and recreational fishing valuation, with significant contributions to understanding economic responses to environmental change in marine systems.

Dr. Liu's research interests focus on fisheries economics, climate change adaptation, and marine ecosystem services valuation. Her work examines economic valuation methods for marine resources, climate vulnerability assessments for fishing communities, and governance frameworks for sustainable fisheries management. She employs interdisciplinary approaches combining economic modeling, social surveys, and environmental analysis to address complex fisheries management challenges.

Analysis of Dr. Liu's recent publications reveals strong focus on climate change impacts on Arctic fisheries, economic valuation of marine resources, and adaptive management strategies. Her work spans multiple geographic contexts including Norway, Canada, India, and Mediterranean regions, demonstrating global relevance of her research. Methodologically, she combines traditional economic valuation techniques with innovative approaches like serious games for stakeholder engagement.

Dr. Liu actively collaborates with researchers across UiT and internationally, particularly in projects related to Arctic governance, jellyfish management, and aquaculture sustainability. She is a member of the MRØ research group at the Norwegian Fisheries College, contributing to interdisciplinary fisheries research initiatives.

Her research has significant policy implications for sustainable fisheries management under climate change, particularly regarding economic valuation of ecosystem services, adaptive governance frameworks, and community resilience strategies. Dr. Liu's work bridges academic research and practical fisheries management through stakeholder engagement and policy-relevant analysis.
