I did my master in Physical Geography at Lund University, Sweden during which degree I also spend one year in New Zealand. My master project developed into a PhD and I changed university and I’m not at Stockholm University, still Sweden. I’ve done a lot of fieldwork in subarctic Sweden, in connection with Abisko Scientific Research Station. I plan to finish my PhD in November 2008. I’m also involved in the Swedish YSC working on establishing a Swedish network for early career polar scientists as well as outreach towards schools.
