Research focus edit

Kool is known for her studies on the ethnobotany of the Nordic countries to identify human-plant interactions and local ecological knowledge that contributes to plant diversity in cultural and natural environments.[2][3][4] She led the establishment of the thematic Viking Gardens,[5] where the yearly Viking Garden Day event[6] is hosted in the botanical gardens of the Natural History Museum at the University of Oslo.[7][8]

Awards edit

Kool was the recipient of Uppsala University’s Distinguished Teaching Award in 2007.[9]
