I am a physical geographer working at the intersection of geomorphology and climate science. A central theme of my research is how past climate change has influenced landscape evolution, and how knowledge of the past can help us understand current and future environmental challenges. I have studied glaciers and landscape evolution in Patagonia, the Tian Shan, the Altai Mountains, Tibet, Antarctica, Scandinavia, and the Swedish mountains. By combining field mapping, satellite data, elevation data, and geochronological methods, I reconstruct how glaciers have changed over time and how these changes have shaped the landscapes we see today.
TARDIS: Debris-flow hazards in the Swedish mountains
I currently lead the Formas-funded research project TARDIS (Temporal and Spatial Distribution of Debris Flows and Their Impact on Society and Infrastructure in a Changing Climate). The project investigates how debris-flow activity has varied over time, the climatic and precipitation conditions that trigger these events, and how the associated risks may change under a future climate. We develop knowledge and tools to reduce societal vulnerability and strengthen climate adaptation in the Swedish mountain region. The project is a collaboration between Link枚ping University and SGI, SGU, and SMHI.
Teaching
I am Programme Responsible for the Bachelor's Programme in Physical Geography 鈥� Technology and Landscape, and I teach and coordinate courses in Introduction to Physical Geography and geospatial data, Geomorphology and Digital Elevation Models, and Physical Geography Field Methods. I also teach geography in the teacher education programme and GIS within the Master's Programme in Science for Sustainable Development.
