About
Martin Finné serves as an Associate Professor in the Department of Human Geography at Uppsala University, Sweden. His academic work bridges climate science, archaeology, and human geography with a specific focus on Mediterranean environmental history.
Dr. Finné's research interests encompass:
- Climate change history and paleoclimatology
- Human-environment dynamics in ancient Mediterranean societies
- Archaeological applications of climate science
- Socio-ecological resilience in historical contexts
- Mediterranean environmental history
- Interdisciplinary approaches to understanding climate-society interactions
His scholarly approach integrates multiple methodologies including pollen analysis, speleothem records, and archaeological survey data to reconstruct past environmental conditions and societal responses. Finné's work spans multiple temporal scales from the Holocene through specific historical periods including the Bronze Age, Iron Age, and Roman era, with geographic focus primarily on Greece and the broader Mediterranean region.
Analysis of his publication record reveals a consistent research trajectory examining the complex relationships between climate variability and societal development, adaptation, and transformation. His work frequently addresses questions of societal resilience and vulnerability to environmental change, particularly investigating 'boom-bust' sequences in agricultural landscapes and long-term sustainability of human societies.
Dr. Finné has published extensively in high-impact interdisciplinary journals including The Holocene, PLOS ONE, Journal of Anthropological Archaeology, and Quaternary Science Reviews, demonstrating significant contributions to understanding climate-society interactions in the ancient Mediterranean.
