My current project contributes to research on food systems resilience with a focus on regional and local planning, policy and practice. The project explores how Swedish municipalities work with the development of regional and local resilient food systems. The study aims to identify obstacles, opportunities, innovative approaches, and possible ways to strengthen collaboration - both within municipalities, between municipalities and between municipalities and other regional and local key actors.

Previously, I have also explored how municipalities in Sweden work with climate change policy.

In terms of methods, I predominantly use qualitative methods, and my research spans surveys, interviews, document analysis, and discourse analysis.

Profile

My academic background comes from climatology and coastal research fields. My past research involved coastal development assessments, modelling coastal dynamics and researching changes of hydrometeorological factors along the southeastern Baltic coast, and their influence for coastal development. I am now working on reconstruction of recent climatic changes and storm events based on dune evolution using geophysical methods. Majority of my research is based on in-situ data, gathered during field expeditions, analyzed in laboratory environments which I combine with data from climate and hydrometeorological models and analyze using a variety of statistical methods.
Besides coastal related research I have professional experience in the field of corporate sustainability, focusing on carbon emission accounting and model development for related sustainability applications.

Profile

I am a PhD candidate at Uppsala University, based on campus Gotland. I have experience in marine research and management spanning the tropics to the polar regions. My work is heavily influenced by social-ecological systems thinking and much of my research aims to consider management problems from a holistic perspective. This research is interdisciplinary in nature and I have developed experience in both quantitative and qualitative methods.

My PhD research on marine protected area management and how such forms of management work for seagrasses in the Topical Indo-Pacific. However, during my master’s degree I was investigating a novel pelagic fish species in Icelandic waters, using species distributions models to predict presence under current and future climate conditions. I have also spent a period working as a fisheries observer, which has provided some interesting perspectives on fisheries management from outside of academia.

I hold a BSc (zoology), MSc (environmental dynamics and climate change), PGCE (biology and outdoor education), MRM (coastal and marine management) and licentiate degree (natural resources and sustainable development).

PhD candidate

Adam Mickiewicz University

Department of water protection

Profile

I am a hydrobiologist and PhD researcher studying freshwater ecosystems, with a focus on mussels - both native and invasive species. My work combines ecology and ecotoxicology. I currently research how climate change and human-driven pollution impact mussel populations. In particular, I investigate chemicals used in lake restoration to reduce eutrophication. These products are meant to improve water quality, but we still know little about how they affect aquatic animals. My goal is to find out whether they might have negative effects on mussel populations or even influence the spread of invasive species.

I have solid experience working with students. I have completed an Academic Teaching course, supervised Bachelor’s and Master’s projects, and regularly support students during laboratory work. Currently, I work as a lab technician at the Department of Water Protection (AMU). I also mentored students during the Science and Sail programme in Lithuania, where they worked on a project about microplastic pollution. I am always happy to discuss new ideas and support students in developing their own research projects.

Currently in the final phase of his PhD, Ulrich Schmudde is a PhD candidate who combines solid academic credentials with extensive professional experience. He holds both a Bachelor’s and a Master’s degree from Mid Sweden University. Before starting his PhD journey in Sweden, he worked as the head of marketing and tourism development for a German municipality in the Black Forest, which gave him great practical insight into destination development and community value creation.

His research focuses on value, value propositions, and value capture, last one especially in a social rather than financial context. A key part of his work explores the sustainable development of shadow destinations: places with potential that are not yet well known. He has conducted several case studies in central Sweden, and can also draw on his previous work, particularly in the tourism industry in Germany.

Ulrich has taught several university-level courses in marketing, management, and tourism. These include Management and Organisational Culture, Relationship Marketing and Brand Strategy, Destination Development, Destination Development and Sustainability, Consumer Behaviour in Tourism, and Customer-Centric Brand Development for the Tourism Industry.

Profile

Although I find myself predominantly studying marine sediment these days, I consider myself to be a sedimentary geologist and geochemist. I am currently researching the fairly recently discovered methane ebullition fields in the Baltic Sea, where methane generated by intense degradation of organic matter becomes supersaturated in the seafloor, causing precipitation of gas bubbles that ultimately rise towards the atmosphere. This includes sedimentary analysis, gas analysis (e.g., gas chromatography, isotope ratio mass spectrometry) and geochemical analysis. So what led me here?
During my masters thesis I studied a number of Jurassic cephalopod fossils, and how what happened during their degradation influenced, or even enabled, their preservation. After my graduation, I went on to work in industry and invented a new interpolation method for the chemical estimation of sedimentary structures, by correlating geochemistry with environmental reconstruction and sequence stratigraphy, using the past for the benefit of the future. These experiences taught me the complexity of the biogeochemical processes involved in the degradation of organic matter, and how geochemistry of sedimentary structures behave across space as a result of their depositional past, which led me to research methane ebullition and pursue my aim to use the past for benefit of the future.

Currently, I am focused on the human-technology interface by exploring the social implementation of a relatively new and niche sustainable energy technology in Chile’s Atacama Desert. Initially trained as a civil engineer, I then spent several years working on the technical side of satellite data analysis before transitioning to behavioral decision science (i.e., the psychology of how people make behavioral decisions) during my Ph.D., where I assessed household climate vulnerability through behavioral decision science (through interviews and a survey) and remote sensing (through image analysis using machine learning). I am able and happy to provide guidance on theses addressing the human-technology interface (particularly those which relate to sustainable energy transition), climate vulnerability and resilience (particularly from a human behavior perspective or imaging of changes), behavioral decision science, and remote sensing (including image and GIS analysis). In terms of methods, I have expertise in surveys, interviews, community-engaged research, image analysis, and data analysis and visualization.
