Erik Andersson

Stockholm

Erik Andersson works as associate professor in sustainability science at the Stockholm Resilience Centre. Despite being an inveterate outdoor recreationist and lover of both deep forests and open vistas, Erik does most of his research in or near cities. An ecologist/geographer by training and inclination, Erik has worked across disciplines to seek the answers to real world problems and needs. On a more theoretical level, Erik is interested in how ecological conditions and processes together with governance and human perceptions shape multifunctionality and how we understand and appreciate nature. Erik studies sometimes-convoluted flows of multiple ecosystem services and benefits, the impact this use has on both ends of the supply chain, and how and when these flows may change with time.
