I am an internationally recognised scholar in Quaternary geology, paleoclimate reconstruction, and climate risk communication. My research integrates sediment-based climate proxies, glacier dynamics, and the development of decision-support frameworks for climate adaptation. Over the past 25 years, I have led numerous high-impact research initiatives, securing over €25 million in competitive funding. This includes serving as founding director of the national Centre for Integrated Earth System Science Education (iEarth) and, more recently, the Centre for Mountains in Transition (CMT). My scholarly output comprises 95 peer-reviewed journal articles, 13 book chapters, and over 200 conference presentations. I have an h-index of 41 and more than 5,600 citations. I have supervised 19 doctoral candidates and 66 master’s students to completion. My fieldwork spans diverse and climatically sensitive regions, including the Arctic, the Himalayas, and the Southern Ocean. In addition to my academic contributions, I am actively engaged in public science communication, frequently contributing to national and international discourse on climate change. My appointment as director of CMT marks a strategic progression in my research agenda, emphasising the integration of geoscientific inquiry with societal resilience and sustainability in mountain regions facing climate stress.

I have dedicated much of my career to communicating climate science and geohazard research to the public. Since 1999, I have been regularly featured in Norwegian media, including NRK and national newspapers, and I remain on the expert list at the Faculty of Natural Sciences and Technology for topics related to global warming and polar climate change. My outreach includes authoring over 30 popular science articles and book chapters in Norwegian, such as contributions to Naturen, Aftenposten Viten, and the widely read book Folgefonna og fjordbygdene. In 2025, I published the chronicle “The glaciers will never return” in Bergens Tidende, and I have consistently provided expert commentary on climate risks and adaptation. I am frequently invited as a keynote speaker at major conferences and seminars, including AGU, EGU, and the Norwegian Energy Annual Conference (2022). I have also delivered invited lectures at leading institutions, including ETH Zürich and the University of Massachusetts. These engagements reflect my commitment to bridging cutting-edge research with societal relevance, ensuring that knowledge about cryospheric change informs both policy and public understanding.
