My research is focused on creating reconstructions of vegetation and climate for the Late glacial and Holocene period. I analyze pollen from sediments collected in lake and bog environments. Combining these records with sedimentological proxies such as X-Ray fractination, magnetic susceptibility and organic content, and a good chronology provides information on interactions between the landscape, climate and vegetation. Currently I am working on the Eidsberg Rock project, which focuses on impacts of the Viking Age in Eidsborg, Norway.
