My research revolves around social-ecological systems in northern environments - in particular reindeer husbandry and the consequences of climate change and multiple land use on the livelihood.

People and nature are closely coupled with multiple feedbacks between each other – forming a social-ecological system. In my research, I focus on these feedbacks, and how they are shaped by natural and social dynamics in multiple-use landscapes, where several forms of land use interact. Mostly, I am working with reindeer husbandry in Sweden, but also Norway and Finland. Methodologically, I integrate approaches from ecology with participatory research, often together with reindeer herders.

One major aspect in my research are the effects of different forms of land use on the grazing resources for reindeer, in particular modern forestry. I am also investigating reindeer movements in response to environmental variables to understand how natural and anthropogenic factors shape habitat use. I am also interested in traditional ecological knowledge, and how co-production of knowledge by integration of different forms of knowledges can contribute to sustainable management of natural resources.
