I have a PhD from 2007 in geology and paleontology and I am a docent in
palaeoecology since 2009. Currently, I am working as a Collegium
Researcher at the Turku Institute for Advanced Studies (Department of
Archaeology).
I work within several projects on environmental vegetation history over
long time perspective. I am working in side by side with archaeologists
in order to achieve a more holistic understanding of past human lifeways
and people-environmental interactions
