My research deals with ecological risks of human activities on marine ecosystems, with a particular focus on emerging industries both in coastal areas and the deep sea. I am interested in the interlinked societal and ecological challenges that shape marine ecosystems in the Anthropocene and how we perceive the risks associated with offshore activities. I currently work as a researcher at the Baltic Marine Environment Protection Commission HELCOM.
