I am a postdoctoral fellow at the Centre for Climate and Energy Transformation (Department of Geography, University of Bergen). I received my PhD from the Technical University of Denmark, with a thesis focused on climate change governance.
Over the past twenty-five years, I have worked on climate change mitigation, adaptation, and loss and damage. At present, my work focuses on limits to climate change adaptation and climate change-driven loss.
Prior to joining the University of Bergen, I worked for the Technical University of Denmark, the United Nations Environment Programme, and COWI A/S, a consulting company. In the early 1990s, I was a research assistant in a couple of applied research institutes.
GEO306: Methods in Human Geography
I teach the session on "sampling strategies" and "surveys".
GEO324: Geographies of a Green Transformation for Climate Resilience
I am responsible for this MSc course which, in the current, revised, version will focus on adaptation. It will be structured around eight key topics in adaptation, covered through both a generalist and a human geography lens.
