AWARDS

The Hans & Helga Reusch Prize for Research (1995)

MAIN SCIENTIFIC INTERESTS:

I am interested in:

    - Quantifying natural climate variability and understanding interhemispheric coupling
    - Understanding ocean-land-atmosphere interactions
    - Development of Tertiary diatom biostratigraphy and paleoceanography of the high-latitude North Atlantic and Arctic Ocean
I have developed transfer functions for quantitative estimates of past sea surface temperatures using marine diatoms for the Nordic Seas and the North Atlantic. My main research activities have focused on reconstructing past surface ocean variability through sea surface temperature (SST) and sea ice cover reconstructions during the last interglacial-glacial cycle, the last deglaciation, the Holocene and Recent Past. I work both in the high-latitude North Atlantic and the Arctic Ocean, and the Southern Ocean.

I have participated in several ODP and IODP cruises (Legs 151, 152, 162, 302) both as onboard and onshore scientist as a diatom biostratigrapher.
