Academic interests

I have a wide interest in biology and my special strengths are in ornithology and botany. Recently I have further immersed myself in entomology.

I am also passionately interested in geology and astronomy, and in addition, I have a great interest in meteorology.

Otherwise, I am very fond of outdoor activities that includes tents, climbing, canoeing, kayaking, cycling, skiing and hiking - more or less on a yearly basis.

I do also photograph a lot, and especially with the emphasis on macro, which the pictures below shows. More photos are included in my Facebook profile.

Courses taught

Right now I'm on a leave of absence for four years due to a doctorate at the University of South-Eastern Norway, but normally I teach in the following courses

  • Advanced course in Nature, Health and Physical Activity in pre-school education
  • Science in the Teacher Master Education Programme - 1st to 10th grade

Background

I am a graduate economist (cand.agric.) from NLH (now NMBU) at Ås with a Master's Thesis in Recreational Calue of Salmon Fishery in the Drammen River.

I am also an educated agronomist from Tomb Agricultural School (now Tomb High School and Agricultural Studies) in Råde.

After completing civil service, I worked 12 years as a lecturer at Tomb High School and Agricultural Studies before I started my career as an assistant proffessor at the University College in Østfold in 2006.
