Kort info
Jeg er naturgeograf og driver med forskning og undervisning innenfor klima- og brevariasjon etter siste istid, geofarer som skred og tsunami, og havnivåendringer langs norskekysten.
Forskning
Forskningen min har i hovedsak vært rettet mot isavsmeltingshistorie, geofarer og postglasiale variasjoner i klima, breutbredelse og havnivå i Norge, på Svalbard og Grønland. I doktorgraden min så jeg på hvordan breene i Nordfjord har variert i utbredelse etter siste istid og hvordan frekvensen av snøskred har variert i samme område, i tillegg til at jeg dokumenterte hvordan Storeggtsunamien skylte inn gjennom Nordfjord for 8150 år siden. Siden det har jeg blant annet forsket på hvordan isdekket på Grønland har bidratt til havnivåendringer gjennom siste istidssyklus, isavsmelting og tidlig klima- og havnivåhistorie i Rogaland og generelt havnivåendringer langs norskekysten helt fra isavsmeltingen og frem til i dag.
Undervisning
Jeg underviser for tiden på følgende kurs innenfor naturgeografi ved institutt for geografi:
GEO111: Landformdannende prosesser
GEO113: Klima, oseanografi og biogeografi (emneansvarlig)
GEO212: Terrestriske klima- og miljøendringer
GEO291: Natur- og miljøgeografisk feltkurs (emneansvarlig)
GEO313: Naturgeografiske felt- og laboratoriemetoder (emneansvarlig)
GEO317: Særemne i geografi
