Welcome to my website!
I am a researcher at the Department of Geosciences, University of Oslo. My main interests are ice dynamics, ice-flow modelling, ice-ocean and ice-climate interactions, and paleoclimate. I also care about ethics, knowledge-based policy, renewable energy, and sustainable development. Selected recent research articles Nanni, U., Bouchayer, C., Åkesson, H. et al.
