Academic interests

Working with sedimentary archives, with a particular focus on the Arctic and the Arctic Ocean. My research explores marine and glaciomarine sediments and sedimentary processes to reconstruct past environmental conditions. Currently, my primary focus is investigating the sedimentology and depositional environments of quick clay deposits in Norway to better understand their formation.
