About

Research

My work is related to developing models for projected impacts on aquatic, marine and terrestrial biodiversity and ecosystem services. Human impacts on biodiversity and ecosystems call for novel methods to assess, quantify, and spatially differentiate their extent and consequences. I focus on advancing the field of life cycle assessment (LCA) to improve and complement this widely used assessment approach. In addition, we investigate how trade influences and chnages these impacts and how we can help to reduce biodiversity loss.

Moreover, I am chair of a task force of the life cycle initiative hosted by UN Environment on ecosystem quality within Life Cycle Impact Assessment (LCIA) and I am leading the effort to operationalize LC-Impact, a novel, spatially-differentiated LCIA method (see http://lc-impact.eu).

In 2019 I was awarded an ERC starting grant ( ATLANTIS).
