🌍 Global ocean 🌍 Baltic Sea 🌏 Indo-Pacific

In my research group at Uppsala University, we are working with issues related to the coastal zone. We are using a transdisciplinary approach in the group and use techniques such as ecological/biological field sampling, field experiments, observations, remote sensing, interviews, questionnaires and workshop discussions, future thinking, co-creation and are collaborating with organisations outside academia.
