Anna works primarily with physical applications such as modelling and analysis of waves and currents. She also performs environmental descriptions for strategic environmental assessment, and has been project manager for two fish inventory surveys in the field. Previously Anna had a two-year postdoc fellowship at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in the US, where she worked with analysis of current measurements from the Alaskan continental shelf in the Beaufort Sea. She received her PhD in physical oceanography at Stockholm University in 2003. Her thesis dealt with deep water flows through sounds, with focus on the Denmark Strait between Greenland and Iceland.
