Martin Grosjean

Prof. Dr. Martin Grosjean is Director of the Oeschger Centre for Climate Change Research (OCCR) and leads the Paleolimnology unit at the Institute of Geography, University of Bern. His research focuses on reconstructing past climate and environmental changes through lake sediment analysis.

Research integrates paleolimnology, biogeochemistry, and climate science to investigate Holocene climate variability, human-environment interactions, and sediment transport processes. Key themes include hydrological changes, ecosystem responses to climate forcing, and anthropogenic impacts on lacustrine systems.

Recent publications demonstrate methodological innovations in hyperspectral sediment scanning and multi-proxy approaches, with geographical focus on Alpine, African, and South American lake systems.
