Research

My background is in sedimentary basin analysis, where I have studied the formation of pockmarks and sandstone intrusions. Since 2016, my research has moved towards geoarchaeology, and reconstruction of flooded and buried palaeolandscapes. I investigate geological landscape forming processes related to rising sea level, glacial dynamics, geohazards and paleolandscape evolution. Such help us assess the living conditions for Stone Age populations in Doggerland.

Teaching activities

I teach marine geophysical methods, including reflection seismic and underwater acoustics. In my teaching, I emphasize having active students, e.g. via group discussions and presentations, plenary discussions or case study work where the students use data and methods. My courses also include marine geophysical fieldwork on the university's research vessel Aurora. I continuously develop my teaching to include relevant skills for the labor market.

Collaborations

My latest major interdisciplinary research project deals with marine geoarchaeology in the North Sea, where I work together with partners from universities, museums and research institutions across northern Europe to develop methods to identify areas with potential cultural heritage. My research often has an applied focus and I have a close collaboration with particularly the offshore wind farm industry.
