With a background in remote sensing and cartography I worked for a surveying and mapping company before I started to focus on geomorphology again. In my PhD Project I study the impact of climate/vegetation on geomorphology (erosion, transport and deposition) along a climatic gradient in Chile (Chilean Costal Cordillera). Title of PhD-thesis: “Sediment transport and connectivity under changing biogeomorphic feedbacks”. The PhD-Thesis is part of the project "Project 6 (phase II): Biogeomorphic feedbacks and their role for sediment erosion and connectivity along a climatic gradient in Chile“, a sub-project of the DFG-funded Earthshape project "Earth Surface Shaping by Biota" - A German-Chilean Research Initiative.
