I’m originally from Denmark, but now living in Cork, Ireland and working with visual science communication. You may have found this post because you were curious about this page or wanted to know more about the topic at hand – in any case: welcome.

There are more writings, visuals and videos around here about geology, the weather, our planet, Ireland, Denmark and other things that interest me.
