Biography

My main focus is on reindeer movement and habitat selection within reindeer husbandry area in Sweden and Eurasia. Interest in drivers behind reindeer and reindeer husbandry land use and how these drivers control the possibility to make use of natural pastures and sustain a viable production. I have studied how both reindeer and freely ranging horse’s habitat selection affects the landscape (biodiversity). I strive for a holistic perspective evaluating drivers on and from within the system to create a system perspective and to integrate several sustainability dimensions.
