Research Summary

I’m an environmental scientist. With that I mean that I base my science on environmental issues with high societal values, rather than on traditional scientific disciplines. As a result I try to mix research tools from various research fields such as physical geography, paleolimnology, soil science and ecology. So far my research has been focusing on the fate of contaminants in the environment, impacts of climate change on the carbon cycling in arctic soils, weathering and its role for sustainable forestry and impact from pharmaceutical on biota. It might appear as mess but I probably have one of the most stimulating jobs in the world.

Can information preserved in old soils be used to predict future environmental change? Using ancient soil DNA to assess terrestrial ecosystem responses to environmental perturbations

November 28, 2019

This project aims to develop a new and more subtle proxy, soil ancient DNA, for paleo-ecological studies needed when understanding environmental change working beyond our contemporary monitoring programs.

Climate change induced regime shifts in Northern lake ecosystems

March 13, 2018

This project brings together new tools and concepts in biogeochemistry and ecology, with the aims of understanding and predicting the effects of climate change on the delivery of two major ecosystem services, fish production and the net greenhouse gas balance of Northern lakes.

A cross-system analysis of ecological change in Kangerlussuaq (SW Greenland) and Torneträsk (Northern Sweden)

March 9, 2018

In this project, we will synthesize the available data from Torneträsk in Northern Sweden and Kangerlussuaq in south-west Greenland using novel statistical approaches to understand the key drivers of ecological changes at a range of timescales.

New research explores links between anthropogenic stress on fish behaviour and ecosystem structure

December 10, 2020

Researchers are interested in exploring the extent that human-caused stressors impact fish behaviour and ecosystem structure, and a new study shows that stress-prompted changes in foraging behaviour may impact on fish population size, and may lead to reduced biomass and reproduction rate, which may alter ecosystem structure.
