About

I am a Professor in Engineering geology of soils (Quaternary deposits) at the Department of Geoscience and Petroleum, NTNU

My main research interests are in Quaternary geology, including genesis and properties of Quaternary deposits. Geohazards, including mass movements in sediments such as quick clay and in steep terrain, are also fields where I am working together with graduate students.

I employ various laboratory techniques to characterize the sediments. GIS and remote sensing are also important tools that I use to explore spatial relationships. Here AI and machine learning have become indispensable tools in later years and I am participating in projects to map geohazards using AI/ML.

I'm currently working with the following;

  • Changes in ice volume of the Antarctic ice sheet
  • Deglaciation of Norway and Scandinavia
  • Distribution and characteristics of Quaternary deposits
  • Mapping and understanding of geohazards with emphasis on quick clay and mass movement in steep terrain
  • The use of AI/ML in geoscience
