Main Research Activities

Main research activities are within the fields of erosion, transport and deposition of fine-grained cohesive sediment - including microplastics - within estuarine and marine environments and chronostratigraphy and climate history of Holocene deposits. Special attention is given to the interactions between biology and sedimentology, aggregation of fine-grained sediment and fine-grained deposits as climate and environmental archives as well as the influence of sea level rise, storms and storm surges on estuarine sedimentation.  Studies are presently carried out in Greenland, tanzania, the Wadden Sea, The Baltic Sea, Sweden and Vietnam.

International relations

Co-operation with numerous research-groups in Europe, China and Vietnam. More than 150 co-authors on publication list.

Student supervision

Supervisor or co-supervisor of 11 master-thesis projects. Supervisor or co-supervisor of four phd-students. Presently main supervisor of one phd-student.

Short presentation

Mit primære forskningsområde er erosion, transport og aflejring af finkornede sedimenter - på godt dansk: mudder - i fluviale, estuarine og marine miljøer. Herunder også særlig fokus på geokronologi og historisk rekonstruktion af f.eks. forurening og klimavariation ved hjælp af sedimentkerner.
