I research environmental law, spatial planning and related procedural requirements in general, and in sectors such as offshore wind. I teach in the faculty's PhD and master's programs. I am a member of expert committees, such as the Environmental Toxins Committee, NOU 2010:9, and the Nuclear Power Committee (ongoing), and deputy chair of the Appeals Board for Environmental Information.

I communicate in writing and in words and actions to authorities, students, businesses, and administration, etc., on topics I research.

I teach at the PhD and master's programs at UIB, supervise master's and PhD students at law faculties, and contribute to various continuing education courses, etc.

I have led, and been a member of, several research projects, many of them interdisciplinary and international, related to topics such as sustainability, climate, land use, water management, and offshore wind.
