The faculty’s dean, Per Persson, has decided to appoint Professor Petter Pilesjö as Head of Department for the period 2026–2028, with Professor Anna Maria Jönsson as Deputy Head of Department during the same period.
To strengthen the work of building and developing the new department, the dean has also appointed Assistant Head of Department:

New management roles appointed for the department office
In addition to these decisions, it has also been determined how certain management roles within the department office will be distributed. Gisela Caesar, currently Administrative Manager at the CGB office, will become Administrative Manager of MGeo, and Anna Ekberg, currently Administrative Manager at CEC, will become Head of Research and Collaboration Support. They will formally take up their positions on 1 January 2026, but will already begin working in their new roles during the autumn as part of the planning process.
The new management group, together with the administrative leadership, will play a central role in shaping MGeo, which is emerging from the merger of the Centre for Environmental and Climate Science (CEC), the Department of Physical Geography and Ecosystem Science (INES), and the Department of Geology.
