Field of work

I'm program coordinator of the international semester program Geohazards and Climate Change and I'm teaching in the masterprogram Climate Change Management and the bachelor program Geology and Geohazards.

My research focuses on deformation of the Earth crust at different scales and how bedrock structures influence landscape evolution, and deformation processes active in unstable rock slopes.

I am leader of the Landslides Research Group at HVL.
