I work as a University Lecturer at the Geography Research Unit. My research focuses on geodiversity, geodiversity-biodiversity dynamics, nature conservation, and sustainability issues. Methodologically, I specialize in quantitative approaches and spatial analysis. I am also actively involved in scientific publishing and serve as the Editor-in-Chief of Nordia Geographical Publications. My teaching in the Geography Degree Programme focuses on physical geography and sustainability-related themes.
