At the Baltic Sea Centre I am part of the Baltic Nest modelling group, focusing on the turnover and fate of nitrogen and phosphorus in the drainage basin and the Baltic Sea itself.
I hold a PhD from the University of Latvia and have worked in Baltic Sea monitoring and integrated status assessment.
Nutrients that accumulate in soils and in the bottom sediments of lakes and streams have a long-term impact on eutrophication in the Baltic Sea. The modeling project “Legacy nutrient dynamics in the Baltic Sea catchment: implications for managing eutrophication” will estimate the magnitude of these legacies and suggest appropriate measures.
The goal of the project FutureMares is to provide socially and economically viable actions and strategies in support of nature-based solutions for climate change adaptation and mitigation.
Many treatment plants in northern Sweden are facing a major challenge when nitrogen removal requirements are being updated, new goals for climate neutrality and separation of micropollutants are introduced and wastewater volumes are expected to rise as a result of the ongoing industrialization.
