I'm a solar physicist, expert on the northern lights and an international recognised lecturer. Currently I works as Lead Space Science at the Norwegian Space Agency. Previously I have worked for six years at NASA Goddard Space Flights Center as the Deputy Project Scientist for the legendary sun-observing satellite SOHO. I am also a Prof. II at the University Center at Svalbard (UNIS) and an author of several international popular science books about the Sun and the Northern Lights translated into seven languages. I have produced the award-winning documentary «The Northern Lights - a Magic Experience. I am a proud member of the exclusive Explorers Club in New York.
