Kasper Grann Andersson

Kasper Grann Andersson is a Senior Researcher in the Department of Environmental Engineering at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU), where he leads research in radioecology and environmental monitoring. He is affiliated with the Waste, Climate & Monitoring research group and has been a key figure in national and international nuclear emergency preparedness initiatives.

• MSc, DTU (1988)
• PhD in Radioactive Contamination, DTU / Risø National Laboratory (1991)
• Post-doctoral Fellow, Department of Geology, University of Reading, UK (1991)

His research focuses on radioecology, terrestrial and marine contamination, aerosol physics, and radiation risk evaluation. He has contributed to European handbooks on sustainable restoration and decision support systems like ARGOS and RODOS. His work supports UN Sustainable Development Goals related to clean water, sustainable cities, and climate action.

Recent publications highlight long-term trends in marine radioactivity, urban contamination modeling, and stakeholder perspectives in contaminated areas. His research integrates environmental science with emergency management, emphasizing data-driven recovery strategies and public safety.

Kasper Grann Andersson has led and participated in multiple international research projects, including NKS-B and NERIS. He has supervised PhD students and contributed to policy and practice in nuclear emergency preparedness.

He has managed and contributed to significant research projects such as:

• OKG-RKL-SERIN: Radiological characterization for nuclear decommissioning in Sweden
• Analysis of natural radionuclides in environmental processes
• Improving decision-making for airborne contamination emergencies

He has also delivered guest lectures and conference presentations on topics including dirty bomb scenarios, ECOSYS model re-parameterization, and countermeasures in inhabited areas.
