Jahnebakken 5, 5007 Bergen, Norway

I am a Research Professor at NORCE Climate and Environment, affiliated to the Bjerknes Centre for Climate Research. My main research interests are Atlantic and Polar paleoceanography, sea ice reconstructions and proxies, and past warm climates. My current research focuses on polar paleoceanography and sea ice reconstructions. Together with my cross-disciplinary team of paleoceanographers and microbial ecologists, we are investigating the potential of ancient DNA in marine sediments for sea ice reconstructions in the Arctic and Antarctic. Our projects are funded through an ERC Consolidator Grant (AGENSI), an EEA and Norway Grant (NEEDED) and the Norwegian Research Council (ARCHIE). For all of these projects we work with international partners located in Germany, Poland, Australia and the UK.

My main expertise is in marine palynology (dinoflagellate cysts), and I have worked with inorganic (stable isotopes and Mg/Ca of foraminifers) and organic (sea ice biomarkers) geochemistry, and more recently also with ancient DNA. I remain interested and active in research on different aspects of dinoflagellate cyst research, past warm Pliocene climates, Quaternary and Pliocene paleoceanography, regional paleoenvironmental reconstructions and biostratigraphy.
