Ola Fredin
Background and activities
I work as an Adjunct Associate Professor at NTNU. I mainly teach GIS and remote sensing (see course GEOG3523), but also help teach and supervise in glaciology, glacial landforms and geomorphology.
My main research interests are in Quaternary geology (glacial landforms and sediments) and geomorphology. I'm currently involved in research projects working with the deglaciation of Fennoscandia (recent publication by Stroeven et al. (2016)), pre-Quaternary weathering and geomorphology (recent publications by Viola et al. (2016) and Fredin et al. (2017)), and ice volume change in Antarctica (project web page here).
