About Lan's Work
I am an associate professor (docent) in sustainability science at Stockholm Resilience Centre (SRC), Stockholm University, Sweden. At SRC, I co-lead the Anthropocene Dynamics research theme, and I co-coordinate the Planetary Boundaries and Water Resilience Research groups. Broadly speaking, I study the role of water for social-ecological and Earth system resilience. What is the role of land-use for sustaining the water cycle? How does water provide resilience for society and ecosystems at the local to global scale? What are the synergies and trade-offs between land, climate, and water-related policy interventions?
