Welcome to my personal website. I’m Erik, a PhD student in the Climate dynamics group at Chalmers University of Technology. My current research revolves around organized moisture transport in the atmosphere at high latitudes. I have also done some work on global glacier modeling and extreme event attribution.
Below you’ll find a list of my most recent work.
CMIP6 climate model spread outweighs glacier model spread in 21st-century drought buffering projections
Lizz Ultee, who advised and inspired me back in 2022 when I was working on my master thesis on global glacier runoff and droughts, and co-authors have recently published a new paper on how glacier runoff buffers droughts during the 21-st century. The study combines our previous work and updates it, presenting an assessment of how glacier runoff buffers drought based on forcing from 11 CMIP6 models and three different global glacier models.

A climatology of atmospheric rivers over Scandinavia and associated precipitation
Hans Chen and I have published a new paper where we present a detailed climatology of atmospheric rivers over Scandinavia and how they affect the regional precipitation. If you are interested in differences among AR detection algorithms at higher latitudes, clustering of ARs, or AR related precipitation patterns over Scandinavia, take a look!

Inter-model differences in 21st century glacier runoff for the world's major river basins
A paper investigating the inter-model differences in global glacier runoff, authored by Finn Wimberely and co-authors (me included) has now been published in The Cryosphere. Find the full paper on https://tc.copernicus.org/articles/19/1491/2025/ ...
Exploring the sensitivity of extreme event attribution of two recent extreme weather events in Sweden using long-running meteorological observations
The paper where Erik Kjellström and I look into the extreme event attribution of two semi-recent extreme events in Sweden is now published! Find the full paper on https://nhess.copernicus.org/articles/24/2875/2024/ ...
