Björn Almström

Björn Almström is an Associate Senior Lecturer at the Division of Water Resources Engineering within the Lund University Faculty of Engineering. He specializes in coastal engineering, climate adaptation, and erosion control with a focus on sustainable infrastructure solutions. His work aligns with UN Sustainable Development Goals related to climate action and responsible consumption.

Research interests include wave dynamics, beach nourishment, vegetated dike systems, and infrastructure resilience against sea level rise. He leads projects like LIFE22-CCA-SE-LIFECAPEable (2023–2028) and SISLR (2021–2025), addressing coastal erosion and community impact mitigation.

Recent publications emphasize frameworks for coastal road vulnerability assessment, natural flood defense planning, and experimental studies on vegetation-stabilized embankments. He actively participates in media outreach and peer review for journals like Nature-Based Solutions.

Current projects involve collaboration with European agencies and local stakeholders to develop climate-resilient coastal strategies. His work bridges engineering solutions with ecological sustainability, emphasizing practical implementation of nature-based solutions.
