William Helland-Hansen joined the Department of Earth Science, University of Bergen, in 1997 after 12 years at Norsk Hydro (Research Centre 1985-1995, Production 1995-1997). From 1998 he has been a full professor at University of Bergen and from 2007 an adjunct professor at the University Centre of Svalbard (UNIS).

His research covers a wide range of aspects related to clastic sedimentology. Main research topics are sequence stratigraphy, trajectory analysis, clinoform dynamics, source-to-sink, shallow-marine sedimentation, spatial and temporal structure of basin fills, and coastal change in the 21^st century. His research data have been gathered primarily from the Norwegian Shelf and Svalbard. William has participated in many larger projects, as project leader and principal investigator.  Through his career he has been the main supervisor for more than 50 MSc students and 10PhD candidates.  

In addtion to his research, William has a special interest in public outreach connected to  the natural history of his home region. He was the chief editor of the bestseller Naturhistorisk Vegbok, Hordaland ("Natural History Pathfinder for Hordaland") and has been the editor of the follow-up webside grind.no. https://www.grind.no/en. He is currently the editor of a coffee-table book about Norway's 100 finest geological localities, to be published in 2024.

• Co-editor and from 2013-2020 project leader and editor of the portal of GRIND (http://grind.no/) at the University of Bergen – a new platform and digital gateway to “man and landscape”; a canal to the researchers and the sources of knowledge built on the books Cultural History and Natural History Pathfinders for Hordaland (released December 2016).
• Co-editor “Ei halvøy i Hardanger” (Nord4, 2013). Stories about nature and culture at Neshalvøya, Hardanger, Western Norway. This book is a close-up look into all aspects of nature at this small peninsula, ranging from plants to animals, geology and cultural history. 150 pages.
