Biography
I am researcher - modeller and field worker - working in the area of hydrogeology, soil stability, landslides and natural based solutions.
I am landslide hydrologists (PhD), Environmental Engineer (MSc) and certified EHS specialist (PostGrad). My research are dedicated to natural hazard and disaster analysis, with the focus on soil stability, buffer zone efficiency and the influence of preferential flow paths on landslides hydrology. My main research activities included: hydrogeological site monitoring (field measurements, data collection), data processing (ArcGIS, MatLab, PCRaster, MicrosoftExcel) and modelling (STARWARS, LISEM, BSTEM, PROSYS II), as well as presentation of the findings (orals, posters, technical reports).
Besides the main research I was actively involved in organising workshops, conferences and (on line) intensive courses, creating platform to exchange the knowledge, data and share all kind of experience. This activates made me aware of the importance of proper communication and collaboration between researchers, authorities and stakeholders.
My research and managerial experience comes from participations in several EU funded and international projects: MOUNTAIN-RISKS (2007–2010, FP6), ECOU-PREF (2006-2008), ANR CATTEL TRIGGERLAND (2007-2010) and SAFELAND (2008-2011, FP7), PREDHYPO (2015-2016), RECARE (2014-2018, FP7), BUFFERKLIMA (2017-2019).
Key competences:
- spatial data analysis and data integration
- monitoring and analysing of hydrological systems (field and laboratory measurements campaign)
- data processing (ArcGIS, MatLab, MicrosoftExcel)
- modelling (STARWARS, LISEM, BSTEM, PERSIST)
- scripting (PCRaster, FORTRAN)
- presentation (oral and poster)
- technical reports
- academic writing
- project management
Abstract
Rapporten beskriver utprøving av rotstokkmetoden som en naturbasert løsning for sikring av erosjonsutsatte elvekanter. Metoden ble etablert våren 2023 langs en om lag 80 meter lang strekning nederst i Gjødingelva i Hurdal kommune. Sikringen består av rotstokker stabilisert med stein, stedlige masser og et lag grus fra elvebunnen. Oppfølging med dronebaserte høydemodeller, visuelle observasjoner og vegetasjonskartlegging viser at sikringen og den tilstøtende kantsonen i hovedsak er stabile. Det er ikke observert fortsatt erosjon eller vesentlig masseforflytning. Vegetasjonen er i ferd med å reetableres naturlig, mens plantede stiklinger og små trær har hatt lav overlevelse. De foreløpige resultatene tyder på at metoden kan redusere erosjon og undergraving og samtidig gi et mer variert fysisk habitat enn tradisjonell erosjonssikring. Det er likevel behov for videre overvåking og utprøving på flere lokaliteter før det kan trekkes generelle konklusjoner om levetid og anvendelighet.

River mouth nitrogen: phosphorus: silicon (N:P:Si) stoichiometry can predict marine eutrophication potential. Furthermore, deviations from Redfield molar N: P:Si = 16:1:20 ratios can offer insight into limiting nutrients and risks for harmful algal blooms (HAB). Here, we present N:P:Si stoichiometry based on total P, dissolved inorganic N and dissolved Si for 88 coastal river mouths in Norway, Sweden and Finland between 2017 and 2024. Rivers ranged from ultra-oligotrophic to hyper-eutrophic. N and P concentrations increased from north to south, with no latitudinal Si gradient. Most rivers were either P or jointly NP depleted relative to Si, with no overall evidence of Si depletion. However, there was some evidence of seasonal Si depletion. We show how using multi-element approaches, e.g., the Index of Coastal Eutrophication Potential (ICEP) can help to guide management actions. Specifically, Using Si depletion relative to N and P concentrations as an indicator of HAB potential may offer a means to identify catchments where nutrient load reductions can have the largest benefit on marine ecosystem health. Such multi-element approaches can complement single nutrient assessments based on, e.g., the Carlson Trophic Status Index or Water Framework Directive status class assessments.

There is strong evidence that ecosystem-based approaches, such as Natural/Small Water Retention Measures (NSWRMs) can be an important solution to problems associated with managing water quality and quantity, soil erosion, and nutrient loss. Moreover, they deliver multiple co-benefits such as increased biodiversity, climate change adaptation and mitigation, alongside aesthetic and recreational functions. However, despite their apparent advantages and significant political momentum for their expanded deployment, implementation of NSWRMs remains slow. This study asks why this is the case and employs a methodologically rigorous variant of the SWOT framework combining qualitative and quantitative (scoring and cluster analysis) elements to assess the exact barriers and potentials for increasing the NSWRMs’ implementation across Europe. The empirical analysis draws on case studies of fourteen small watersheds distributed across twelve European countries to explore the factors affecting the NSWRMs adoption, evaluate their relative importance, and identify necessary intervention areas for their better uptake. Our findings indicate that the main drivers for NSWRMs implementation are high knowledge availability through formal and informal networks, as well as support through advisory services. On the other hand, the main hindrances are inadequate financing schemes but also uncertain societal attitudes and perceptions. Financing schemes rarely account for indirect costs, and bureaucratic procedures further discourage practitioners from pursuing these measures. Negative attitudes are linked to mismatched time horizons as well as the gap between theoretical benefits and practical implementation challenges.

ENGAGE: Europe Nutrient Management - Guided Approaches for Greater Export reduction
ENGAGE aims to operationalise a novel vision for the future of multi-scale nutrientexport reduction and associated ecosystem services in national andtransboundary/international river basins in Europe by bringing together robuststakeholder engagement strategies with coupled state-of-the-art computationalhydrology techniques and online interactive use-tailored DS tool approaches that integrate remote sensing, socio-economic, governance, and society-change decisionelements.
