Hello,
I'm currently a post doctoral researcher at UiT – The Arctic University of Norway (University of Tromsø).
I am a biogeochemist investigating micronutrients and toxic heavy metal elements (Hg, As, etc.) released by glaciers. I have been on expeditions to Iceland (2016), Chilean Patagonia (2017), Indian Himalayas (2017, 2018), Peruvian Andes (2022), Norway (2022, 2023).

I completed my PhD in May 2022, where I investigated the impact of glacial sediments, ‘glacial flour’, on crops.
Through a combination of my research, adventure and creativity I hope to try to show others not only how special our planet is, but also how it is changing so rapidly.
