The Professor is regarded as a somewhat mythical character. We read our books, work out our equations and write cryptical papers comprehensible only to each other.  But in fact we aim to understand and explain the reality in which we live. At least it is my aim to understand, explain and even improve in some small way.

This website is an attempt to bridge that gap and to present my work and ideas to both specialists and also to a broader public. Here is a guide to this website.

First we have the “news section” on the side menu to the left, where I post important events regarding the climate, energy policy or the environment but with a personal touch and mainly news about my own work.

And then there is the top menu with pages regarding my work (CV), both regarding publications such as peer reviewed articles, books and media and information on external engagements and some consultancy that I occasionally engage in, as well as a section with more personal aspects of my life and how I integrate a sustainable thinking into my everyday life.

Following here is a list links to relevant webpages:
