Current research

As part of Green Forests policies: a comparative assessment of outcomes and trade-offs across Fenno-Scandinavia’ (GreenPole, 2021-2025), I use agent-based modelling to analyze past and future land use changes in Nordic forests. The PhD position is a collaboration between Centre for Environmental and Climate Science and Political Science at Lund University.

I am interested in society’s use of natural resources, land use change and rural livelihoods. With a background in Physical Geography and Gender studies, I have earlier studied water availability in rural Nepal, landslides in Uganda, socio-environmental conflicts in Chilean forestry and movements against mining in Sápmi and Ecuador.
