Professional Bio
PhD student from Norway that earned my B.Sc. and M.Sc. in Bedrock- and Resource Geology at the Norwegian University of Technology and Science (NTNU), in collaboration with the Norwegian Geological Survey (NGU). The M.Sc.-project with the title «Paleoproterozoic Tectonomagmatic Evolution and Crustal Architecture of the SW Margin of Fennoscandia» introduced me to the world of geochemistry and isotopes, and how we can use them to understand geological processes. The project also gave me opportunities to join an exchange program at Texas Tech University in Texas and to visit the SHRIMP and LA-ICP-MS lab at Curtin University, Perth, Australia. After a short period working as a resource geologist for a consultancy company in the mining industry in Norway, I decided to go back to academia and continue what I had started. I'm now part of the Metal Earth Craton-project, where my PhD is focused on the Archean rocks of the Southeastern Superior. I’m using whole-rock geochemistry, zircon U-Pb-Hf-O isotopes and zircon trace elements to study the origin, petrogenesis and architecture of the SE Superior crust in both space and time, and to look at the implications for large-scale mineral endowment.
