Research activity per year
Welcome
I am Associate Professor at the Department of Agricultural Sciences, Faculty of Life Sciences, University of Copenhagen. The past 15 years I have been employed by The Royal Veterinary and Agricultural University in various functions, relating to Soil Fertility and Plant Nutrition, with a special emphasis on Environmental Impacts of Agricultural practices.
In essence most of my scientific work examines nutrient cycles, biological fertility and various associated processes spanning from molecular scales to systemic levels, in laboratory micro- and mesocosms, field studies as well as nutrient balances at metropolitan and even regional scales.
During the years I have built a large interdisciplinary network of collaborators, nationally and internationally, ranging from biological and earth systems sciences, over technical engineering, to anthropology and political sciences.

RESEARCH: |
Nutrient and waste management in land based production systems, with an emphasis on Carbon, Nitrogen and Phosphorus. In recent years emphasis has been placed on detailed studies of decomposition processes, and on a larger scale the possibilities and barriers for increased nutrient and organic matter recycling from urban to peri-urban areas. |
EDUCATIONAL DEVELOPMENT: |
During the past 10 years responsible for the University Consortium on Sustainable Land Use and Natural Resource Management. This project has led to the development of educational activities (Masters and Honours programmes) and research (staff development and PhD programmes) in Denmark, Malaysia, Thailand and Southern Africa. The activities are still ongoing, and this year the 1000th Honours/Masters student will be taken into the programme as revealed by the 'Global SLUSE Tracer Study'. |
