Field of work
I am a Quaternary geologist mainly interested in glacial deposits, glacier dynamics, reconstructing former glacial extent, as well as understanding and quantifying earth surface processes and their effect on landscape evolution.
I teach natural sciences at the kindergarten and teacher educations, as well as geology and aspects of nature management associated with outdoor education.
My research interests are:
- Quaternary geology and palaeoclimate
- Glacial geology and glaciology
- Climate change and palaeoclimatic reconstruction from sedimentary archives
- Geohazards
- Geomorphology
