Active projects:
- Project leader of ADVANCING KNOWLEDGE OF METHANE IN THE ARCTIC, AKMA, Intpart, NRC https://en.uit.no/project/akma
- "WP Biological response" leader in EMAN 7 Environmental impact of Methane seepage and sub-seabed characterization at LoVe-Node 7, Petromaks2, NRC https://site.uit.no/eman7/
- UiT Partner and responsible for the “Cruise development WP”, BridgET- Bridging the gap between the land and the sea in a virtual environment for innovative teaching and community involvement in the science of climate change-induced marine and coastal geohazard. ERASMUS -KA203 - Strategic Partnerships for higher education, EUROPEAN COMMISSION, https://bridget.unimib.it
- UiT Partner in The Deep Network project that addresses the need for adults to become more aware of the problems regarding climate change and the ocean. The aim is to develop high-quality and accessible educational material, determine what is essential to know about the human impact on the ocean, and suggest ways to educate adult learners so that they tend towards behavioural change.
The overarching topics covered in the Deep Network project include ocean pollution, ocean warming, habitat destruction, fisheries, and tourism. https://www.thedeepproject.eu - EURASIAN ARCTIC C4 2023 https://www.polar.se/en/expeditions/eurasian-arctic-c4-2023/
