Hardcover. Temperature adaptation is a much neglected field in the minds of climate change researchers and policy makers. However, increasing fluctuations in temperature mean that the risk of cold and heat stress will pose an increasing threat to both wild and cultivated plants and animals, with frost injury expected to cause devastating damage to crops on an increasingly large scale. Thus, improving shared knowledge of the biological mechanisms of temperature adaptation in plants and animals will help prevent major losses of crops and genetic resources in the future. Improving shared knowledge of the biological mechanisms of temperature adaptation in plants and animals will help prevent major losses of crops and genetic resources in the future.

She received her B.Sc. and M.Sc. from the University of Guelph and her Ph.D. from Oregon State University. Karen examines physiological mechanisms of plant adaptation against abiotic stress from the whole plant to cellular level. She has published over 140 research contributions including 4 books. Enhanced learning approaches are used throughout the 14 undergraduate, graduate and diploma courses that she has taught. She has coordinated graduate level courses in plant abiotic stress in Japan, Russia, Canada, Luxembourg and Poland. Since 2002, she has chaired/co-chaired 5 international and national conferences and was a core organizing committee member of ten international conferences.

She has held positions at the Norwegian Plant Protection Institute (now NIBIO) and the Norwegian University of Life Science. She is professor emerita in plant pathology at NMBU, where she taught plant pathology from BSc to PhD level for 35 years. She served as elected pro-rector for the Norwegian University of Life Sciences 2002-2005. Her research includes physiological and genetic aspects of induced and natural resistance to fungal diseases in various crops, as well as resistance to winter injury in grasses and cereals. She has supervised about 15 PhD students and published over 100 scientific papers. She has also been president of the Norwegian Society for Plant Pathology, and associate editor for the journal "European Journal of Plant Pathology". She has served as member of the Plant Health Panel in the Norwegian Scientific Committee for Food Safety (2004- 2018) and member of FACCE-JPI Scientific Advisory board (2014-2019).
