Johanna Anjar

Summary
My strong interest in glaciers and arctic environments led me to an education in geology. I later specialized in Quaternary geology and in 2013 I finished my PhD on the Weichselian in south Sweden and in the SW Baltic Sea. The collaborative nature of these projects also gave me experience in planning and coordinating a project with co-workers in several countries.
