Katinka Horgen Evensen holds a degree in psychology from the University of Oslo from 2006 and has worked as an educational psychologist.
At IPM she works on a project in environmental psychology. Research in environmental psychology explores the transactions between people and their physical environment.

The project is based on environmental psychological theory suggesting health promoting effects of contact with nature, and relates to other ongoing research in environmental psychology at IPM (Department of Plant and Environmental Sciences ) and ILP (Dept. of Landscape Architecture and Spatial Planning).
Supervisors: Associate professor Grete Patil, post doc Ruth Kjærsti Raanaas and post doc Caroline Hägerhäll.
