Use of natural resources
Göran's research focuses on natural resources and on users. A significant part of it concerns the ecological connection that forms the basis of natural resource use within hunting, fishing, forestry and outdoor pursuits. An area of increasing interest is the research surrounding tracing gps-tagged animals in order to study the effects that, among other things, people presence has on them.
