Kort præsentation

Since 2010 my research has mainly focused on climate change and how to provide first overviews of the storm surge and stormwater consequences. Secondly, I've been involved for many years in digital soil mapping - especially concerning how to harmonize a soil map of Europe.

Currently (Sept. 2019) I'm involved in the CLIMACCESS research project where my component is on estimating the stormwater consequences for Accra, Ghana. Also, I'm collaborating with Esri, CA on sharing two workflows on storm surge and stormwater modeling to be downloaded from their learn.arcgis.com site by Jan. 2020 and June 2020.
