Current developments and projects
I have just completed a series of documents for Greenland Minerals & Energy Limited in connection with uranium mining in Greenland. This assignment involved some 90 thousand words, to be completed in 2 months flat. The feedback so far is that the client was extremely happy with the finished product, particularly as many of the original diagrams, maps and charts bordered on the illegible! This particular job involved detailed descriptions of geological, hydroelectric and geographical conditions in Greenland.

I am currently working on a book dealing with the ethics of organ transplantation (both human and xenotransplantation) for the Danish Council of Ethics.

In addition, I am still pursuing a longstanding interest in Icelandic, including more travel to Iceland to study the language, culture and people.

Having studied the language intensively for over 3 years, I have now established a working collaboration with a native Icelandic speaker in the UK and, together with her, am able to offer translation between Icelandic and English!

This is a part of my work that I hope to expand, as the market has been under-served for many years, as far as I can tell.
