About Klaartje Jaspers

Klaartje is an investigative journalist and storyteller, combining resources from the sciences, data and narratives. Trained as an interdisciplinary social scientist focussed on Europe and sub-Saharan Africa, she likes to dig into stories that impact both continents.

Recent research includes the energy transition and the mining industry, including biomass – which she tends to see as a form of ‘overground mining’.
