Faculty Member | Department of Geosciences | University of Oslo
My work brings together field instrumentation, near-surface imaging, LiDAR, UAV sensing, spatial analysis and scientific software. I work across environmental and archaeological questions, with a strong emphasis on geoscientific methods that connect field measurements, interpretation and reusable research infrastructure.
Academic profile
I work at the intersection of geosciences, geophysics, archaeology and spatial science. My background in archaeological prospection has developed into a broader research profile spanning environmental geophysics, cryosphere applications, remote sensing, digital landscapes and scientific tool development.
The common thread is methodological: choosing and combining measurements that make difficult landscape questions more observable.
01 / Research
My work is organised around a set of complementary methods rather than a single discipline. Geosciences form the broad frame, while geophysics, archaeology, environmental monitoring and remote sensing provide the scientific contexts in which I work.
Environmental & near-surface geophysics
ERT, GPR and repeated measurements are central to my work on near-surface structure, environmental change, permafrost and cryosphere-related problems, infrastructure and difficult terrain.
ERT · GPR · time-lapse monitoring · modelling · quality control
Remote sensing & spatial analysis
LiDAR, photogrammetry, satellite imagery, GIS and terrain models provide the surface context for geophysical observations and support landscape-scale environmental and archaeological analysis.
LiDAR · photogrammetry · GIS · satellite data · terrain modelling
Archaeology & geoarchaeology
Archaeology remains an important part of my research identity, particularly where geophysical prospection, landscape archaeology, excavation context, cultural heritage and digital documentation meet.
Prospection · settlement archaeology · cultural landscapes · 3D documentation
UAV sensing & instrument development
I am interested in UAV-based geophysical workflows, including sensor adaptation, positioning, survey geometry and the practical constraints of working in steep, remote or hazardous environments.
UAV · payload integration · positioning · survey design · terrain adaptation
Scientific applications
I develop research-facing software and interfaces for inversion, monitoring, visualization, quality control and data exploration. The software follows the scientific workflow rather than the other way around.
Monitoring · inversion · visualization · QC · research interfaces
02 / Platforms
Examples of how research workflows can be translated into public or research-facing platforms.

Magnetics, ERT, GPR, anomaly recognition and multi-method interpretation for mapping and characterising subsurface structure.
Archaeological landscapes, large fortifications, settlement structure and site interpretation using geophysics and spatial analysis.
LiDAR, satellite imagery and terrain modelling for environmental and archaeological landscape interpretation.
Time-lapse ERT, seepage, cryosphere and other applied near-surface problems where repeated measurements capture change through time.
Reproducible workflows, automated processing and public-facing tools for making complex geoscientific data easier to use.

Short films showing field methods, geophysical survey and digital reconstruction.
06 / Teaching
My teaching connects field measurement, instrumentation, spatial data, processing and interpretation. I use real datasets and practical examples so that methods remain connected to the scientific problems they are meant to solve.
07 / Geoscreening
Geoscreening is the professional framework through which I bring together applied geoscience, integrated geophysical workflows and practical site intelligence.
The focus is on integrated geoscience: combining geophysical methods, spatial analysis and tailored interpretation in a form that is useful for research, heritage and applied site investigation.
