Karin Tonderski

Senior Associate Professor

My research focuses on recycling of nutrients, circular fertilizers and biogas solutions, and actor collaboration regarding those topics. I also have in-depth knowledge about wetlands for eutrophication control.

Research

Urban Agriculture as Blue-green Infrastructure

Urban agriculture is increasing in popularity but is understudied in terms of nutrients. This project fills part of this knowledge gap by looking at food gardens and nutrient cycling in Linköping.

Biogas Solutions Research Center

BSRC is a national competence center for biogas research administered by the LiU. It's base for the development of innovative and resource-efficient biogas solutions often with positive local and regional effects on the environment and the economy.

Teaching

Undergraduate education

I teach topics related to the natural science underlying a variety of environmental problems, but also ways of mitigating those and move towards a more sustainable society. Specifically, I teach in the courses TKMJ24 Environmental Engineering, TKMJ57 Environmental Technology Solutions, and TKMJ51 Corporate Sustainability Managment. I supervise and review Bachelor theses in the program Energy and Environmental Engineering, and am happily supervising and examining Master-projects in the field of environmental engineering and sustainable development, preferably with a systems perspective.

PhD education

Within the Biogas Solutions Research Center, we do PhD education and every year we run the PhD candidate course Biogas solutions, and I teach a section about digestate and biofertilisers management. This course aims at creating a broad understanding and knowledge about the development of biogas solutions, from process technology and biochemical processes to biogas in a systems perspective, societal effects and preconditions for implementation. All lectures are also offered as a lecture series open for those that want to learn more about biogas solutions without participating in the entire course. You can

Urban agriculture – is it all good?

Many cities are seeing an increasing interest for homegrown food. But researchers want to find out: is there also a downside to urban agriculture in the shape of nutrient loss to waterways?

Urban agriculture pros and cons studied by researchers

It is becoming increasingly popular to grow food in cities. But how much nutrients do vegetables need? Can superfluous nutrients end up in the water? A research project led by Geneviève Metson look into different aspects of urban agriculture.

Collaboration with South Africa to focus on global issues

A new Swedish collaboration with South Africa is to strengthen global research issues and make it easier for researchers to contact each other. Research collaboration in fields such as the climate, medical care and education is planned.
