Fire regimes
Palaeofire regimes using sedimentary charcoal and fire biomarkers
Learn MoreI am physical geographer and reconstruct those environmental changes that are mediated by vegetation to assess the role of climate, humans and internal system dynamics for Earth surface processes and landscape evolution.
My research is based on lacustrine and terrestrial sediment archives, considers local to subcontinental spatial and decadal to orbital temporal scales, as well as dating and proxy uncertainties. Main questions: Which long-term processes affect current and future environmental change? Which processes to consider in a rapidly warming world?
