Johan M. Bonow

Johan M. Bonow serves as Associate Professor at Uppsala University's Department of Human Geography within the Faculty of Social Sciences. His research focuses on long-term landscape evolution with interdisciplinary approaches to understanding topographic development on passive margins.

His primary research interests include:

• Geomorphology of passive continental margins
• Post-Caledonian tectonic and thermal evolution
• Thermochronological constraints on landscape history
• Greenland and Fennoscandian geological evolution
• Peneplain formation and re-exposure
• Integration of geological and geographical methodologies

Recent publications reveal consistent focus on Nordic landscape evolution, particularly examining burial-exhumation cycles in Greenland and Fennoscandia using thermochronology. His work frequently addresses the interplay between tectonic processes and surface evolution since the Caledonian orogeny, with significant contributions to understanding passive margin development.

Bonow actively contributes to academic discourse through editorial roles for Geografiska Annaler. Series A, Physical Geography, demonstrating leadership in the field. His teaching responsibilities include Physical Geography and Geographic Information Systems.

His research methodology emphasizes geological constraints on geomorphological interpretations, frequently collaborating with international teams on projects spanning the North Atlantic region. Current work investigates episodic landscape evolution across geological timescales, connecting deep Earth processes with surface morphology.
