Forskningsområde

Mine forskningsinteresser er primært centreret om biogeokemi og økologi i kystnære sedimenter efter marin genopretning ved uddigning, sandcapping og ålegræsudplantning. Jeg har fokus på bundlevende invertebraters og rodfæstede makrofytters succession og økologiske betydning. I øjeblikket er jeg blandt andet engageret i den økologiske undersøgelser i den gendannede Gyldensteen Kystlagune og genetablering af god økologisk tilstand i Odense Fjord.
