Background
I have worked at the Finnish Environment Institute (Syke) since 2009. I hold a MsC in Geography (2009; University of Oulu) and a PhD from the Faculty of Agriculture and Forestry at University of Helsinki (2021). My research is focused on studying approaches to assessing climate change impacts, risks and adaptation at different sectors, applying e.g., impact models, indicator analysis, scenarios, GIS and storylines.
Research interests
- Climate change impacts and risks
- Climate change adaptation
- Model based assessments
- Development of methods and approaches to assessing climate change risks
