About myself
My name is Martin Dahl and I was born and raised in Stockholm, Sweden. I completed my basic training at Stockholm University in Bio-Earth Science and Marine Biology. At Stockholm University, I continued my education as a PhD student in 2013 and as a post-doc (2019-2021) focusing on seagrass ecology and coastal carbon storage. I am currently employed as a lecturer at Södertörn University, teaching GIS classes, as well as a researcher at CEAB within the GAME. My research interests focus on landscape ecology, Blue Carbon, human-induced impacts on coastal ecosystems, and paleo-ecology. A new project will launch in early 2022, where we will use various paleo-proxies to assess how land-use change and climate change have affected the nutrient retention of coastal habitats in the Baltic Sea over the past 300 years. The Baltic Sea is highly impacted by eutrophication, and this project aims to increase understanding of how human activities (through land-use change and climate change) have affected nitrogen uptake in the past. This information can be used not only to understand the historical and present situation but also to make future predictions.
