About

I am a professor at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU). I focus on advancing the field of life cycle assessment (LCA) to improve and complement this widely used assessment approach. I mainly work on improving and developing models related to impacts on biodiversity and ecosystems. My current work is related to developing models for projected impacts on aquatic, marine and terrestrial ecosystems and biodiversity, due to energy generation (hydropower, wind power and powerlines), water consumption, land use, as well as marine plastics and marine invasive species. Moreover, I am chair of a task force of the life cycle initiative hosted by UN Environment on ecosystem quality within Life Cycle Impact Assessment (LCIA), co-chair of the GLAM project of the life cycle initiative and I am leading the effort to operationalize LC-Impact, a novel, spatially-differentiated LCIA method.
