Biography

Roland Jansson is a Professor at Umeå University specializing in macroecological research. His main research interests focus on understanding the mechanisms behind the variation in species diversity across geographical areas and clades at spatial and temporal scales. He aims to comprehend how climate change and Earth's history have shaped biodiversity patterns, particularly in global geographic contexts of species richness and the variability of species numbers across clades. Additionally, Jansson's work emphasizes the Arctic and boreal regions, which have experienced significant climate variability. His projects primarily address restoration ecology aspects of streams and rivers in boreal and subarctic regions, investigating the restoration and rehabilitation of riverine ecosystems that have been degraded by human activity and how these ecosystems can support species facing the challenges posed by climate change. He is actively involved in several research groups, including the Restoration Ecology Group and Terrestrial Ecology. His academic contributions also include teaching advanced-level courses on Ecosystem Management at Umeå University.
