Personal profile
Research
My research focuses on interactions between climate, surface processes (such as glacial erosion) and landscape development. In addition, I work with numerical modeling of ice sheets and global sea level. I mainly use quantitative methods and numerical modelling, in concert with existing and new empirical data.
Teaching
I am course responsible and teacher in the course 'Numerical Metods' (5 ECTS) on 4. semestre of the Geoscience B.Sc. education. I am also course responsible for the M.Sc. course 'Geohazards' (5 ECTS) that I teach with two colleagues. In addition, I am course responsible for the summer university course 'Climate Change - cross-disciplinary challenges and solutions' (5 ECTS) that takes place over two weeks in August with ca. 10 experts from AU across NAT, TECH, BSS, and Arts.
