Kristina Seftigen is an Associate Professor at the Department of Earth Sciences at the University of Gothenburg, where she serves as the Vice-Director of the Gothenburg University Laboratory of Dendrochronology (GULD). Her research primarily revolves around dendrochronology, focusing on tree-ring research to analyze long-term variability in climate parameters such as moisture and temperature over approximately 2,000 years. Her work integrates tree-ring proxy archives to characterize hydroclimatic changes specifically in Scandinavia, where she has led several significant projects investigating the impact of climate variability on regional environmental conditions. Seftigen's ongoing research includes assessing the implications of shrub growth in sub-Arctic Sweden as part of a comprehensive monitoring initiative, as well as understanding Sweden’s hydroclimate patterns in relation to historical climate records and human-driven changes. She has contributed to numerous studies aimed at refining paleoclimate data and improving climate model predictions through extensive fieldwork and collaboration with various research institutions.
Administered by the Department of Political Science; focus on International Administration and Global Governance (IAGG).
