Work
I鈥檓 an interdisciplinary environmental scientist (social science, plus natural & humanities) with 20 years of experience and a dual career in both academia and in the science-policy interface. My work focuses on 鈥Urban & Community Resilience and Climate Adaptation under Uncertainty鈥, with applications in global cities, delta regions and the Arctic. Key topics include: framing & narratives, science-policy-society interfaces, visualisation & communication, governance under uncertainty & surprise.
I'm affiliated as a Senior Researcher with the Centre for the Study of the Sciences and the Humanities, University of Bergen (Norway). In 2021, I was elected as a Fellow of the Young Academy of Europe.
