Lund, Sweden

Research focus: Nutrient cycling within the soil-vegetation continuum.Responsibilities and achievements: - Led an effort to synthesise 50 years of ecological monitoring at the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest (NH, USA) with a specific focus on Si dynamics.- Conducted environmental assessments based on soil and pore water chemistry for different sites.

Assisted (part-time) with geodatabase management for ActivityInfo, i.e. a software product that enables non-technical practitioners (mostly NGO’s) to define their data collection formats, and analyse the results using tables, charts and maps. This included responding to user requests for improved/updated reference data.
