I am a physical geographer with ecological questions. I investigate all sorts of things, but my favourite topics are soil moisture, plant functional traits and species distributions. I work mainly in arctic and alpine ecosystems. I am also a trained science communicator and university pedagogist. I am a member of the national IPBES-working group in 2023-2026.
