Om Cas Renette

Research

My research focuses on the dynamics of palsas, which are mounds of frozen peat, in the Subarctic region. These landforms are a unique permafrost habitat and are rapidly disappearing as a result of increased air temperature and precipitation. We use a wide range of techniques crossing several disciplines, including remote sensing with drones, geophysical investigations and the monitoring of climate and ground temperatures.

Teaching

I teach mainly in NG0210: Field Course in the Subarctic - Physical Geography and Ecology, where I lead excursions and fieldwork in subarctic Sweden and superivse the writing of large project reports. Further, I assist in GV2300: Remote sensing and GIS and GV2500: Data Analysis for Earth Sciences.
