How do water, particles and nutrients move across landscape? In the photo, I'm showing an analogue ancestor from 2014 to digital Storymap. Photo by: Jenny Svennås-Gillner, SLU.

Land use and watershed management to reduce eutrophication, 10 hp

Marken i odlingen, 30 hp

Phosphorus cycling in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, PNG0071, PhD course

Agricultural catchments in a changing world, PhD course

Current research activities include

• Nutrient mobilization and transport at various scales
• Hydrology-chemistry interactions and effects on sediment and nutrient losses
• Modeling nutrients transport and source-apportionment
• Tools for risk assessment of erosion and nutrient losses
• Modeling spatial distribution of erosion and phosphorus losses and identification of variable source areas
• Agricultural Best Management Practices for reduction of nutrient losses

I am working within frames of SLU Water hub where focus is on developing, managing and applying models for calculation of leaching, transport, retention, and source apportionment of nitrogen and phosphorus. Also, I am participating in SMED Vatten. SMED stands for Swedish Methodology for Environmental Data and is consortium comprising the Swedish Environmental Research Institute (IVL), SLU, Statistics Sweden (SCB) and the Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute (SMHI).

In LIFE IP Rich waters we are developing new learning environment (Story map) to facilitate implementation of countermeasures to reduce nutrient losses.
