BIOGRAPHY HIGHLIGHTS 1988: University of Bergen, Dept. of Geology Cand.Mag. (BSc) degree 1990: University of Bergen, Dept. of Geology Cand. scient. (MSc) degree in Marine Geology 1990-1993: University of Bergen, Dept. of Geology Doktor scient. (PhD) degree in Marine Geology 1993-1995: University of Bergen, Dept. of Geology. Post.-doc. stipend (NFR) June-Dec.1994: Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, NY, U.S.A. Visiting scientist (NFR) 1995-12.1998: Research scientist, University of Bergen, Dept. of Geology 1999-02.2003: Research scientist, Norwegian Polar Institute, Tromsø Since 02.2003: Senior Research scientist, Norwegian Polar Institute Since 10.2004: Leader of Polar Climate Programme AWARDS The Hans & Helga Reusch Prize for Research (1995) MAIN SCIENTIFIC INTERESTS: I am interested in: - Quantifying natural climate variability and understanding interhemispheric coupling - Understanding ocean-land-atmosphere interactions - Development of Tertiary diatom biostratigraphy and paleoceanography of the high-latitude North Atlantic and Arctic Ocean I have developed transfer functions for quantitative estimates of past sea surface temperatures using marine diatoms for the Nordic Seas and the North Atlantic. My main research activities have focused on reconstructing past surface ocean variability through sea surface temperature (SST) and sea ice cover reconstructions during the last interglacial-glacial cycle, the last deglaciation, the Holocene and Recent Past. I work both in the high-latitude North Atlantic and the Arctic Ocean, and the Southern Ocean. I have participated in several ODP and IODP cruises (Legs 151, 152, 162, 302) both as onboard and onshore scientist as a diatom biostratigrapher.
