Research

My research focuses on hydrology in arctic permafrost environments, leveraging on both field-based and modeling techniques. My ongoing projects target surface-groundwater exchanges in periglacial landscapes, climate change impacts on hydrology in the boreal-arctic transition zone, permafrost dynamics in peatlands, and catchment-scale hydrology and transport in continuous permafrost environments.

I'm (co-)supervising three PhD projects: 

• Mikkel Toft Hornum (University of Copenhagen), "Numerical modelling of periglacial hydrology" (Supervisor)
• Alexa Hinzman (Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam) “Permafrost thaw and Arctic rivers” (Co-supervisor)
• Sebastian Zastruzny (University of Copenhagen) "Quantifying the release of nutrients from changing permafrost" (Co-supervisor)

Community

• Founding member of Climate Arctic Governance (CArGo), UCPH interdiscciplinary network.
• Leading the PermaIntern project, developing an international permafrost internship service, through the UArctic Thematic Network on Permafrost.
• National representative of the Northern Research Basins (NRB) working group.
• Member of the Frozen-ground Cartoon team, producing permafrost science outreach products.
