Fieldwork and research interests:

The focus of my research are cultural landscapes and human-nature interactions. I am interested in the governing of common-pool resources and commons, and their multiple roles in the provision of various ecosystem services and increasing community resilience to environmental changes. These areas are further developed in my basic and applied research. I constantly seek to strengthen this knowledge through active participation in national and international networks and with study visits abroad.
