Why the Arctic?

Anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases are increasingly changing the global climate. The change will be most pronounced in the high northern latitudes, in the so called pan-arctic region. In my research I investigate several aspects of pan-arctic change. In particular, I analyze changes in land-surface hydrology, how these changes interact with the ecosystem and ocean dynamics, and how these interactions may moderate or enhance changes in global climate.

My research is guided by two overarching science questions:

My work can be divided into four topics:
