Hi, I am Mirjam. 
Oceanographer at heart, senior lecturer in academic development at Lunds Tekniska Högskola, adjunct associated professor at the Geophysical Institute, University of Bergen & iEarth.
Always curious.
Welcome to my website!
My blog “Adventures in Oceanography and Teaching“
I started my blog in August 2013 as a postdoctoral researcher in physical oceanography at the Geophysical Institute, University of Bergen, in order to document my “adventures in oceanography and teaching”, and have been doing that ever since.
I go through phases in terms of main topics of interest, and also frequency and length of blog posts, but mostly, I write about
- experiments that can be done with household items, and how to use them in teaching and science communication (“Kitchen oceanography“)
- hyper-local expeditions to connect theoretical concepts with the real world (“Wave watching” — here I show you lots of pictures from where I encounter water in my real life and can’t help documenting)
- what I consider interesting ideas on learning and teaching. I write about my own ideas and experiences, but also about literature that touched me in some way
