Forskning

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.
