AnnMari Jansson

Together with her husband Bengt-Owe Jansson [sv], she undertook research at the Askö Laboratory into the fauna of the Baltic Sea, especially in the Cladophora Belt.

Increasingly, under the influence of the American researcher Howard T. Odum, she turned her attention to ecology, examining the interaction between different species and the environment.

In 1990, she was appointed director of Stockholm University's research centre for natural sources and the environment, becoming professor of systems ecology in 1999.

After obtaining her school-leaving certificate in 1953, she began to study biology at Stockholm College, increasingly focusing on zoology with a bachelor thesis on pigeons.

[1] Jansson was appointed by Stockholm University in 1990 director of its newly established research centre on natural resrouces and the environment.
