Short info

Within my PhD research I aim to identify and analyze landslides and their triggering mechanisms using seismological and remote sensing data.
Research

I specialize in utilizing remote sensing techniques, such as Sentinel-2 optical and Sentinel-1 SAR imagery, combined with seismological and environmental data to study landslides in Norway. 
My work also involves the utilization of deep learning algorithms to automate landslide detection and assess triggering mechanisms through spatial-temporal correlations with seismic activity and precipitation.

Outreach

By the end of 2024, I have presented my preliminary findings at international and national conferences, actively contributing to scientific discussions on landslide detection and analysis. Abstracts of these presentations can be found in the following publications: ESC 2024 Abstract Book (pg. 493) and Geofaredagen 2024 Abstract Book (pg. 21).
