Professor Dan Hammarlund is affiliated with the Department of Geology at Lund University, where he holds academic roles as Principal Investigator for the MERGE and BECC projects. His research focuses on reconstructing natural climatic and environmental changes using geological archives such as lake sediments and peat deposits, with emphasis on stable isotope geochemistry and paleoecological methods. Key interests include atmospheric circulation dynamics, hydrological variations, and ecosystem interactions across Scandinavia, the Arctic, Mediterranean regions, and Tristan da Cunha.
He leads projects including BECC AG (quantifying environmental impacts of climate change) and Old Wood in a New Light (dendrochronology database development). Collaborations span global research networks, with recent activities involving 531 researchers advocating for urgent climate policy reforms in Sweden. His work contributes to UN Sustainable Development Goals related to climate action and biodiversity conservation.
Research outputs include over 90 publications, with recent studies addressing deglaciation histories, iron cycling in lakes, and Holocene climate dynamics. He actively supervises graduate students and contributes to undergraduate teaching. Current projects investigate the role of iron in organic carbon sequestration and volcanic sulfate deposition effects on lake ecosystems.
