A key theme of our research is the improvement of remote sensing techniques used to identify and monitor geological and biological parameters of shallow water seafloor habitats. Other research topics include the reconstruction of Pleistocene and Holocene evolution of sedimentary systems in marginal seas in response to climate change and sea-level fluctuations, and the identification of sites of archaeological interest. Our research is mainly carried out in the Baltic Sea, but also in the North Sea, the North Atlantic and the Red Sea.
