Association: NTNU Ocean and Coast

After five years in experience-based tourism along the coast, I chose to continue my career in a direction that contributes to preserving it. As a biogeographer, I map which coastal landscapes in Norway are most exposed to accumulation of marine plastic pollution and assess their vulnerability, with a particular focus on risks related to the loss of ecosystem services such as carbon sequestration and biodiversity. This knowledge can guide the optimization of resource use in plastic clean-up efforts, ensuring that funds are used in ways that benefit both nature and society as much as possible.
