CV and List of Publications.
(Updated September 2018) The research I have been involved in (1991-92, 1997-2000, 2002-) has mainly been data-driven. It means that observations are vital in achieving the answers to research questions. Simulation tools have been important, when expanding the limits of experiments and instruments. Peer-reviewing is one way of contributing to science.
The rationales sprout from environmental mapping, forest inventory and monitoring. We always strive for something that is more accurate and cost-efficient or provides entirely new and relevant information.
