    Svalbard, Arctic shipping routes and port development – newest article

    May 28, 2019 /

    The newest article co-written by myself and my colleagues at Texas A&M University at Galveston just got published in Maritime Studies – https://doi.org/10.1007/s40152-019-00143-4 Svalbard, which I have written about several times since I started my PhD studies in 2005, is and island group that is located in the Arctic Ocean, and is administered by Norway through the 1920 Svalbard Treaty. Due to its strategic location, the increasing activities of oil/gas exploration development and the possibilities of new routes to and from Europe and Asia using the Arctic passage, Svalbard represent a new potential development area within a new efficient transport route.

    We are on the move again!

    January 3, 2018 /

    In August, we will move again – to Houston, Texas! We are so excited all of us (with the possible exception of our oldest son who will be 17 soon). We had wanted to go again for a long while and I was so happy when I was selected as the Fulbright Arctic Chair for 2018 – which effectively ensured that it would be possible! I will be affiliated with Texas A&M University at Galveston, where I will be working on the following topics, with a special focus on the Arctic, marine plastics and climate change: The internationally legally binding instrument (ILBI) on the management of biodiversity in areas beyond…
