I'm a PhD student in Environmental Science, based at Lund University in Sweden. In my research I use spatial analysis to locate land that could be relevant for future bioenergy crop cultivation in Sweden, and empirical work + spatial-explicit models to address the ecological consequences a conversion of this land could have. More specific, I want to understand how conservation of biodiversity and provisioning of ecosystem services could be affected by an increased bioenergy production in the Swedish agricultural landscape. By addressing the sustainability conflicts that could arise from climate mitigation efforts, like biomass production, we could direct efforts to Sustainable Land Management that maximize the benefits for both climate and the environment.

I have my study background in Physical Geography, Biology and Environmental Science (Lund University and University of Gothenburg).
