• Brief description of your expertise / expertise you are looking for:

  My academic training is in Social Psychology (MSc) and Cultural Geography (MSc; PhD). I have over a decade of experience in conducting inter- and transdisciplinary research in both conceptual and applied contexts, ranging from flood risk perceptions and weather impacts on tourist experiences, to co-production of climate services and mapping of user needs for weather and sea-ice information. While having experience using both quantitative and qualitative methodologies and building on theories and approaches of the above disciplines, in my current position at the Norwegian Meteorological Insitute I consider myself increasingly an applied social scientist in the field of weather information services.

• Brief description of your project / the project you would like to join:

  The weather is as much an atmospheric process that can be measured, predicted and communicated about, as a psychological and cultural phenomenon that is physically experienced and made sense of in cognitive and affective ways. Accounting for these socio-cultural processes is crucial for the translation of weather information into actionable formats that support decision-making, especially in the case of high-impact weather conditions. I am particularly interested in joining a consortium that explores the interrelations between people\'s skills to observe and sense the weather, and their perceptions of weather (warning) information.
