Short presentation
Johanna is a researcher in water and climate, with emphasis on interactions between water-human-ecosystem responses to environmental change. Her research spans from catchment science in the Arctic to interdisciplinary work on natural hazards and disaster risk reduction.
She is teaching in the following MSc and BSc courses: 1HY039; 1HY043; 1HY044; 1HY042; 1HY200; 1HY141; 1TV017; 1GE072, and is the coordinator of CNDS international summer school for PhD students.
