About
I am an archaeologist working alpine snow patches and frozen cultural heritage in central Norway. I work with all aspects of snow patch archaeology- from field surveys and documentation, through lab studies and analyses to professional and public dissemination and network building.
I was coordinator of the international Frozen Pasts Network and Managing Editor of the Journal of Glacial Archaeology until April 2019. Previous projects include the SPARC project in cooperation with the NTNU-University Museum in Trondheim. And the Åarjelsaemien Tsoevtsh project in cooperation with Saemien Sijte that focuses on local knowledge and use of alpine ice patches in Southern Sami areas.
I am a member of the UISPP’s HOME (Human Occupations of Mountain Landscapes) Commission and have organized a number of mountain sessions at international conferences and meetings.
