After completing a Ph.D. in 2000 at the Department of Geology and Geochemistry, Stockholm University, I joined the Center for Coastal and Ocean Mapping at the University of New Hampshire, USA. The thesis was titled "Mapping the Arctic Ocean: Bathymetry and Pleistocene Paleoceanography". My current research interests are the Arctic Ocean paleoceanography and glacial history, the West Antarctic Ice Sheet, glacial landforms, development of Digital Bathymetric Models (DBMs) from a mixture of data sources, and the use of GIS and 3D-visualization for handling and analyzing marine geological/geophysical data. In April of 2004, I returned to Stockholm for an Associate Professor position at the Department of Geology and Geochemistry. From November 2004, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences awarded me five years to devote full time to my research. In September 2009 I was promoted to full Professor in Marine Geology and Geophysics at Stockholm University.
