Research interests:

• Dinoflagellate cyst and acritarch biostratigraphy of the mid to high northern latitude oceans 
• Neogene stratigraphy and depositional history of the North Sea and Norwegian Sea
• Neogene and Quaternary palaeoceanography and palaeoclimate of the mid- to high latitude oceans (North Atlantic, Nordic Seas, Arctic, Pacific), including the evolution of the North Atlantic Current
• Pliocene millennial-scale ocean and climate variability
• Multi-proxy research combining dinoflagellate cysts and foraminifera (Mg/Ca, stable isotopes) for palaeoceanography and palaeoecology
• Ecology of extinct dinoflagellate cysts and acritarchs

Current projects:

• Stratigraphy of Neogene CO2 storage formations in the North Sea - dating the Utsira Sands (in cooperation with Statoil ASA)
• Pliocene millennial-scale North Atlantic and Nordic Seas palaeoceanography
• Neogene to Quaternary dinoflagellate cyst biostratigraphy of the Bering Sea
