TRACK RECORD
KK hold a Ph.D. and professorship in Quaternary science with emphasis on reconstruction of past and modern glacial environments. He is also leading a research group within past dynamics and mass chances of the Greenland Ice Sheet as well as palaeoenvironmental reconstructions, which also span topics towards exploring new methods such as ancient genetics. Overall this provides a wide-range scientific network within the Quaternary sciences as documented from his publication activity. KK has extensive fieldwork experience outside mainland Scandinavia during twenty-six field seasons (each 4-8 weeks long) beginning in 1993: Northern Russia: 6 seasons; Svalbard: 2 seasons; Iceland: 12 seasons; Greenland: 7 seasons. In fifteen of these research expeditions, KK had the full leadership and responsibility. KK has managed to retrieve 4.5 million euros for research grants involving larger projects, infrastructure and instruments.
Selected services include:
RESEARCH SUPERVISION
KK has been and is supervisor for 12(5) PhD. students and 14 (1) Msc students. (x) = pending.
