Climate Change and Landscape Dynamics

Climate Change and geomorphology are our main research fields. Our research focuses on issues in paleoclimatology, geomorphology and paleoecology.
We investigate:
- global to large-scale regional climate change (including extreme events)
- evolution and variability in terms of forcings, processes, controlling factors and feedbacks invloved in oceanic and atmospheric transport of heat and water
- changes and evolution of selected terrestrial systems in terms of internal dynamics
- the response of these systems to changes in climate, tectonics, and land use
Use and development of models and proxies are our prime methodologies. We use climate and landscape evolution computer modeling, and we study sedimentological and morphological records for imprints of climate change, tectonics, and land use change.
For the interpretation of climate change records we apply a multi-proxy approach:
