Olav Eklund

Olav Eklund is a Professor at Åbo Akademi University's Faculty of Natural Sciences and Engineering, Department of Geology and Mineralogy Technologies. His work focuses on geological processes in the Fennoscandian Shield, particularly magmatism, petrology, and mineral resource exploration.

• Research Areas: Magmatism, Migmatite Formation, Leucogranite Petrology, Graphite Ore Exploration, Post-orogenic Tectonics, Geochronology
• Projects: FennoFlakes (2015-2020) - Identification of flake-graphite ores and graphene applications
• Collaborations: Active in international geological research networks, with recent collaborations on Paleoproterozoic magmatism in Finland

His research aligns with UN Sustainable Development Goals, particularly in sustainable mineral resource utilization. Publications emphasize geochemical analysis, zircon dating, and metamorphic processes in Finland's bedrock formations.
