Christian Alsterberg is an Adjunct Senior Lecturer in the Division of Water Resources Engineering at Lund University, affiliated with the LTH Profile Area: Water. His research focuses on interactions between terrestrial and aquatic environments, particularly how coastal urbanization impacts salt marsh ecosystem services. He explores hydrology, biodiversity (marsh grass and microbial diversity), and nitrogen cycling in these systems.
His work contributes to UN Sustainable Development Goals related to life on land and under water. Key research areas include biogeochemistry, ecosystem functions, and the role of biodiversity in maintaining nutrient filtration between land and sea.
Alsterberg has been principal investigator (PI) on projects such as the BECC Action Group (2018–2019) and Urbaniseringens effekter på ekosystemtjänster (2015–2019). He is currently involved in the CyaNoServices project (2025–2028) addressing cyanobacteria threats. He has organized conferences and workshops, including the NATURVATION initiative (2017–2021), and supervises doctoral candidates like Iria Fejóo Rey.
His publications span topics from trophic cascades under extreme weather to nitrogen fixation in sediments, with notable contributions to Science Advances and Oikos. Alsterberg actively participates in public engagement, such as lectures on local waterways (e.g., Tommarpsån).
