I am a community ecologist interested in how natural and human global change drivers affect plants, biodiversity, and ecosystem functions and services at different spatial and temporal scales. My research falls into three broad categories;
- How do local and regional processes interact to shape the patterns in diversity, abundance and function that we observe in nature?
- How does environmental changes affect plants, and how do these effects scale across levels of organization from individuals via populations to communities?
- What are the impacts of human land-use regimes, past and present, on terrestrial ecosystems?
My group - Between The Fjords Lab - use macroecological experiments - replicating field experiments across broad geographical and climatic extents within Norway and across the globe - to disentangle and understand patterns and processes underlying generalities as well as context-dependencies in global change effects and responses. Our research is both methodological and conceptual, and most often conducted in alpine, grassland, or heathland systems. The Vestland Climate Grid is our main experimental playground. We combine field experiments with laboratory experiments and field observational data.
Through my own research projects and collaborations in Norway, Europe, the US, Uganda, Nepal, China, and Peru I get the opportunity to explore these questions in different regions, study systems, and by using different methods.
Field experiments offer opportunities for student-active research, and my research is test-bed for developing effective ways of teaching and learning as integral components of 'real' research projects. I can offer PhD, Msc, and bacherlor's projects in connection to most of my research projects.
I am passionate about research integrity, FAIR open research practice, research quality, and research communication and impact in society. I an active in research communication and dissemination, and have worked with nature management and conservation authorities in Norway, with IPBES, and the UNESCO-recognised Heathland Centre at Lygra to explore science-policy links relating to my research.
I am actively communicating popular science and in the science-policy interface in Norway and internationally over topics related to the nature crisis and climate crisis, global change ecology and all things related to mountain biodiversity, equity in science and especially in the natural sciences, open and reproducible science, students in research, and other topics.
Key current roles and responsibilities in th escience-policy interface:
2022 – Member on the COUNCIL ON ETHICS for the NORWEGIAN GOVERNMENT PENSION FUND GLOBAL, appointed by the Norwegian Ministry of Finance. https://etikkradet.no/members/
2022 – 2023 Member of NATURRISIKOUTVALGET, appointed by the Norwegian Ministry of Climate and the Environment, Norway, to deliver a white paper on nature risks for Norway. https://www.regjeringen.no/no/aktuelt/oppnevner-naturrisikoutvalg/id2920...
2019 – 2023 Coordinating Lead Author of the Intergovernmental Panel for Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES; http://ipbes.net/) thematic assessment of invasive alien species and their control (deliverable 3 (b))
2019 – Open Science Ambassador, GLOBAL BIODIVERSITY INFORMATION FACILITY https://www.gbif.org/article/6dNF1d0tgcI4cmqeoS2sQ4/biodiversity-open-da...
I teach the following courses:
BIO 299 - Research practice in biology. In this course, students conduct a small research project under the supervision of a staff member or advanced student at BIO. I am responsible for coordinating and interacting with the student group through the semester, to ensure that they ahcieve 'metascience' skills in ethics, communication, and collaboration.
Field experiments offer opportunities for student-active research, and my research is test-bed for developing effective ways of teaching and learning as integral components of 'real' research projects. I am passionate about research integrity, FAIR open research practice, research quality, and impact in society. I lead research and education projects that further reproducible research practices, share data, and train students in reproducible practices.
I can offer PhD, Msc, and bacherlor's projects (BIO299) in connection to most of my research projects.
