20 years of experience of lake
sediment-based methods of environmental monitoring, in United
Kingdom and Scandinavia. PhD from University College London
(1986), post-doc experience at the University of Umea
(1987-1990), and senior research scientist at Geological Survey
of Denmark & Greenland (GEUS) from 1990 to 1995 In 1995 he was
appointed to a research professorship at GEUS in the
Environmental History & Climate Department. In 1999 he was
appointed Professor of Geography at the University of Copenhagen
with special reference to the area Global Change. Research
activity: the development of diatoms as quantitative
biological/environmental indicators and the usefulness of
quantitative palaeolimnology as a management tool. For the last
four years has been studying lake-climate interactions in west
Greenland and how the biological structure of these lakes has
changed since deglaciation. International activity: member of
the editorial boards of Freshwater Biology and Journal of
Paleolimnology, and was a member of the Natural Environmental
Research Council (U.K.) Freshwater Sciences committee from 1992
to 1997. Presently, a Council member of the Freshwater
Biological Association (U.K.). EC-projects: EDDI, Chill-10.000
and BIOMASS. Has published over 40 articles in the peer-reviewed
international literature in the last 10-12 years and has
presented more than 50 papers at international and national
conferences and meetings.

Tasks:
UKBH is responsible for co-ordinating all, and undertaking
the majority of field sampling tasks in the Greenland Lake
District. UKBH prepares sediment core and biological samples for
specialist POP and metals analysis and arrange forward transport to
the expert analytical laboratories. Sediment core lithostratigraphy
and diatoms, and epilithic and sediment trap diatoms are
analysed. EMERGE benefits from close links with national research
programmes at UKBH including: Natural Science Research Council
(SNF) "Global Change and its implication for biological structure
of Greenlandic lakes" (1998-2000) and "North Atlantic programme:
Climate driven changes in biological structure of North Atlantic
lakes during the last 1000 years: a transect from the Faeroe
Islands to Peary Land, North Greenland" (1999-2001); and The
Commission for Scientific Research in Greenland provide financial
support for fieldwork. Data generated from these nationally funded
programmes of research in Greenland are transmitted to the EMERGE
database.
