Personal profile

Research

Tomas Germundsson, professor emeritus, affiliated to the Department of Human geography at Lund University. Fellow of the Royal Society of Letters in Lund.

My main research areas are landscape geography, historical geography, and cultural geography. My research has mainly focused on Scandinavia. The main historical period studied is ca 1750-1950, and my research has covered for example enclosure reforms, landowning patterns, the landscape of the great landed estates, the Swedish smallholding movement, and the modern peri-urban landscape. I have participated in several cross disciplinary projects on long term landscape changes, and I also publish on landscape heritage issues. Other fields of interest are planning issues and climate change effects, for instance sea level rise and coastal planning. I have studied farmers’ experiences of the drought in 2018.

I teach at all levels at the Department of Human geography and serve as a PhD supervisor.
