Torunn Berg

Torunn Berg is a Professor in the Department of Chemistry at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology. She specializes in atmospheric chemistry, mercury pollution, and environmental monitoring, with a focus on Arctic and Antarctic regions. Her work involves long-term trend analysis, mercury cycling, and trace metal deposition studies.

Research Interests: Berg's research spans atmospheric mercury dynamics, environmental chemistry, and climate interactions. She investigates mercury deposition in polar regions, bioaccumulation in marine ecosystems, and the role of environmental factors in mercury cycling. Her work often employs moss and snowpack analysis for pollution monitoring.

Advising: Berg has supervised numerous master’s and doctoral students, including projects on mercury speciation, Arctic environmental chemistry, and trace metal interactions. Her collaborations extend to institutions like Zeppelin Observatory and NILU (Norwegian Institute for Air Research).

Publications: She has authored over 20 academic articles in journals like Science of the Total Environment, Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, and Environmental Science and Technology. Her work includes studies on mercury fluxes, snowpack interactions, and marine bioaccumulation.
