Paleoclimate, quaternary geology, physical properties in lake sediments

Jostein Bakke. (JB) is Dr. scient (PHD) in Physical Geography from Department of Geography at University of Bergen. JB has research experience in Quaternary geology, physical geography, glacial history, palaeoclimatology, geomorphology, and lake sediments in Norway. JB defended his doctor Scientiarum thesis ”Late Weichselian and Holocene glacier fluctuations along a coastal south-north transect in Norway – climatic and methodological implications” 16.04.2004 at Department of Geography, University of Bergen. JB has five years with experience as lecturer through 25% teaching during his PhD and first 20% and now 100% position as Associate Professor at Department of Geography.  JB has published (included articles in press) 18 papers in international peer-reviewed scientific journals, 2 reports, 17 popular science articles and 41 conference papers at international conferences. JB is currently member of a research group at the Bjerknes Centre for Climate Research [awarded Centre of Excellence by the Norwegian Research Council] studying the dynamics of Holocene climate in the North Atlantic region. JB has been funded through a personal post doc project called X-LAKE studying geochemical composition in lakes along the coast of Norway. In the nationally co-ordinated NORPAST-2 research project, funded by the NRC, JB was post doc of one of the project modules studying Lateglacial and Holocene climate variability. JB was affiliated on a Strategic University Program (SUP) entitled «Norwegian paleoenvironment and climate as reconstructed from lake sediments (NORPEC)», funded by the NRC during his PhD scholarship.
