About me
My research focuses on climate change and one of the technical solutions pointed out by the UN climate panel IPCC, geological storage of carbon dioxide in the bedrock (CCS, Carbon Capture and Storage). Within the research projects, we investigate Sweden's potential for storage, both in the bedrock and in, for example, mine waste, and we collaborate with research groups in Sweden, Iceland, Norway, the USA, and India.
Previously, I researched the geological large-scale processes that move metals around in the earth's crust during geological time, linked to the formation of mainly gold ore deposits but also how so-called critical metals occur in the bedrock.
I am the managing director for LTU's first (and so far, only) research infrastructure at university level, the lab center LUMIA (Luleå Material Imaging and Analysis), where we develop the advanced analytical capacity at the university, to investigate different types of materials.
From time to time I appear in the media, research communication related mainly to the climate and CCS, and I am the spokesperson for a network of scientists, Researchers Desk, which is a platform for dialogue between researchers and society regarding the climate and biodiversity crises. I like to give guest lectures for school classes, organizations etc. about the climate and its solutions. Get in touch!
