Research
I hold a PhD in Plant Ecology from the Department of Biology, University of Bergen (2009). I am currently professor in applied ecology at the Department of Biological Sciences. In 2017 I was appointed UNESCO Chair on Sustainable Heritage and Environmental Management - Nature and Culture.
My research focuses on the dynamics in coupled human and natural systems, including sustainable development, natural resource management, agro-biodiversity, sustainable land use, ecosystem services, agroecology, and food security. I work with colleagues across the social and natural sciences to elucidate links between anthropogenic activities and the environment, in Europe, as well as in Asia, North-America and Africa. I seek to gain multifaceted knowledge within ecology and associated disciplines to investigate social-ecological complexities. In addition to a PhD in ecology I have completed a minor in Social Anthropology, and the cross-disciplinary courses Ecology and Development and Resource Management and Environmental Conservation.
As the UNESCO Chair at UiB, I'm working with several projects focusing on UNESCO's Man and the Biosphere (MAB) programme. This includes following the establishment of Norway's very first Biosphere Area - Nordhordland UNESCO Biosphere.
I work mostly in cross- and trans-disciplinary projects, and have taken part in several collaborative research and education activities:
- Co-founder and deputy leader of CeSAM - Centre for Sustainable Area Management
- Member of Norway's UNESCO Commission
- Member of the Norwegian MAB comittee
- Member of the Norwegian Scientific Committee for Food and Environment (VKM) (2015 - p.d.)
- UNESCO Chair on Sustainable Heritage and Environmental Management - Nature and Culture, appointed 2017
- Scientific coordinator of Bergen Summer Research School 2013 (www.uib.no/rs/bsrs) – organizing PhD courses on Food as a Global Development Challenge for 70 students, UiB Global
- Lecturer and supervisor on the NOMA (NOrad MAster) Programme 2010-2014, Regional Master Program in Biodiversity and Environmental Management, lectured three cohorts and supervised 6 Master students
- Scientific coordinator for the Nile Basin Research Programme 2009 (www.nile.uib.no) - working group on Biodiversity and Land Use Change, Uni Research
