Helena Filipsson, Professor at the Department of Geology, Lund University, Sweden.

Prof Filipsson is a professor at Quaternary Sciences. Her research focuses on past and present marine environments and their relation to climate and climate change over the last 130 000 years. This research further includes the study of the interactions between land, sea, and atmosphere. The main tools used in her research are marine sediments with their contents of different microorganisms combined with instrumental hydrographic time series and process-oriented modelling. Her research further addresses proxy calibration and validation both through experimental and field studies, i.e., improve the tools we use to reconstruct the past. She is increasingly using synchrotron-based methods, μXRF and μCT, both within proxy development and to generate time series of environmental change.
