Areas of responsibility
I was born and raised in Lødingen, Nordland. I studied geology at the University of Oslo and completed my Masters Degree in 1996. My thesis is titled "Composition and Evolution under São Miguel, the Azores: Evidence from Ultramafic Xenoliths". I have previously worked on volcanism and melt processes under Iceland and the Canary Islands. I've been employed at the Nature Museum in Kristiansand since 2010.
