Kristian Svennevig

Senior Researcher, Department of Mapping and Mineral Resources, Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland

Kristian Svennevig is a researcher at GEUS (Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland) specializing in the impact of climate change on landslides in Arctic regions, particularly Greenland. His research focuses on how processes such as permafrost degradation and glacial retreat, accelerated by contemporary climate change, trigger massive tsunamigenic landslides, posing risks to both natural systems and human societies. By investigating these processes, Kristian's work contributes to understanding and assessing future risks associated with climate-driven landslide activity in vulnerable Arctic environments.
