The main research aims are to enhance the quality of nursing care and delivery of health care for chronically ill persons. The focus is on patient education using the philosophy of empowerment, especially for people living with diabetes but also for other patients‘ groups. Increasing research emphases is on people living in the „arctic“ and their living conditions.

Development of geophysical scale sea ice constitutive models involving exchange of mass, momentum and energy between the atmosphere, sea-ice field and ocean. The objective is to derive descriptions of sea-ice fracture and kinematics and processes that dictate the thickness redistribution due to opening, closing, ridging and rafting of the ice field. The outcome will improve the knowledge and predictions of the climate impact of sea ice dynamical processes and the role of sea-ice in the Arctic Change due to global greenhouse
