Professor of Environmental Chemistry and Head of Department of Environmental Sciences, Stockholm University
My research is about organic contaminants. I am interested in how contaminants distribute in the environment, with emphasis on the aquatic environment, and how processes in the environment affect where contaminants end up and what risk they pose to organisms and ecosystems. Much of my research therefore bridges between environmental chemistry, ecotoxicology and biogeochemistry, and sometimes even environmental law and social sciences. I am interested in the organic carbon cycle and how it contributes to determine environmental fate and risk of hydrophobic organic contaminants. A recent example of this is the work we did to study how the origin of organic matter in Baltic Sea sediment affects the sediment sorption capacity of PCBs and PAHs, and thereby also the release of these chemicals to the water column.
In my research group we currently have several projects to study the effects of organic contaminant mixtures on various aquatic organisms by using passive dosing and the chemical activity concept.
We have projects to study processes that affect the release of contaminants from sediment to water and how to use passive samplers for improved risk assessment of contaminated sediments. In a collaborative project with researchers on hadal systems, we study the occurrence of organic contaminants in hadal trenches (the deepest parts of the global ocean). Here we are particularly interested in how degradation of organic matter in the trench affects storage of contaminants in these extreme places.
In our research we combine theory and methods from various disciplines. We work in the field, perform experiments in the lab, develop methods for chemical analysis and use literature surveys and apply models.

Professor of Technology and Social Change, Linköping University
Anna Storm is Professor of Technology and Social Change at the Department of Thematic Studies at Linköping University in Sweden. Her research interests center on “industrial afterlives”, that is, the lingering effects of industrial activities and their social, cultural, and environmental expressions.

Such landscapes challenge the way we understand ecology, aesthetics, memory and heritage, and trigger concerns about power relations. She is the author of Post-Industrial Landscape Scars (Palgrave Macmillan 2014). Currently she is the principal investigator of three research projects exploring nuclear history, heritage and futures from an international and interdisciplinary perspective: Nuclear Natures, Nuclear Memory and NuSPACES.

Despite learning difficulties, including dyslexia, she has always loved for stories and often rereads the novels she grew up loving as a child, such as Jacqueline Wilson. The first chapter book she remembers borrowing from the library to read independently was Vicky Angel by Jacqueline Wilson, which she read under the table at a family vow renewal! She enjoys authors who write about young girls who are diverse and realistic, no matter the genre. She especially enjoys authors who write for all age groups, so that readers can grow up with the authors they love. One of her current favourite authors is Holly Bourne, whose recent YA novel, You Could Be So Pretty, has informed and been included in her thesis research.
