معرفی
David Wårlind is a Researcher at the Department of Physical Geography and Ecosystem Science at Lund University. He maintains significant affiliations with major research collaborations including eSSENCE: The e-Science Collaboration, MERGE: ModElling the Regional and Global Earth system, and BECC: Biodiversity and Ecosystem services in a Changing Climate.
Trained as a physicist, Dr. Wårlind specializes in ecosystem and climate modeling with expertise in vegetation, ecosystem, and biogeochemistry modeling using the Dynamic Global Vegetation Model (DGVM) LPJ-GUESS and earth system modeling with the Earth System Model (ESM) EC-Earth. His research focuses on terrestrial vegetation interaction with the soil column, carbon cycling dependencies on nutrient and water availability, vegetation and biodiversity changes under different management strategies and climate scenarios, and permafrost degradation impacts on carbon and nitrogen cycling.
His recent publications demonstrate strong engagement with Earth system science, particularly examining climate feedback mechanisms, land-use change impacts, and carbon cycle dynamics. His work frequently contributes to CMIP6 (Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6) and addresses critical questions related to climate change mitigation pathways and the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
- Principal Investigator on HYway (Climate impacts of a Hydrogen Economy)
- Researcher on Building soil resilience to future drought
- Principal Investigator on soil microbial resilience to drought project
- Researcher on OptimESM (Optimal High Resolution Earth System Models)
- Researcher on RESCUE (Response of the Earth System to overshoot)
Dr. Wårlind actively supervises both master's and PhD students and participates extensively in academic service through conference presentations, peer review activities, and workshop organization, demonstrating strong engagement with the global climate science community.
