I am an interdisciplinary sustainability scientist with research interests in sense of place; the social valuation of ecosystem services; and the conservation of biodiversity. I lead the Human-Nature Transformations Research Group.
In 2019 and 2020, I was recognized as a Highly Cited Researcher. Fewer than 6,300, or 0.1%, of the world's researchers, across 21 research fields, have earned this exclusive distinction. To view the latest list of my publications, go to my Google Scholar page.
BACKGROUND
I am a Professor of Sustainability Science (Sustainability Transformations and Ecosystem Services) at the Helsinki Institute of Sustainability Science (HELSUS). I am jointly based at the Ecosystems and Environment Research Programme in the Faculty of Biological and Environmental Sciences, and the Department of Economics and Management in the Faculty of Agriculture and Forestry. I am a Guest Professor at the Department of Landscape Architecture, Planning and Management at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, Coordinating Lead Author of the IPBES Values Assessment (Chapter 2, Concepts) and leader of the Human-Nature Transformations Research Group.
I coordinate the ENVISION and VIVA-PLAN projects, and am a sub-project leader on the SMARTer Greener Cities and CO-CARBON projects. ENVISION aims to develop an inclusive approach to conservation involving identifying, assessing and balancing the consequences of diverse stakeholder visions for protected area management in Europe and the United States. VIVA-PLAN aims to develop a sustainable spatial planning framework for promoting biodiversity conservation, social inclusion and well-being in vulnerable residential housing areas in Sweden and Denmark. SMARTer Greener Cities aims to make smart cities smarter and more liveable through nature-based solutions. We focus on Helsinki, Stockholm and Copenhagen. CO-CARBON aims to develop a new concept of carbon-smart urban green infrastructure, and through co-creative processes, create science-based solutions to support its implementation across society in Helsinki, Tampere and Hämeenlinna.
