Earth Surface Dynamics
We analyse the past of soil and landscape systems to understand the current dynamics under global change and to project future pathways. This is achieved through assessing the landscape’s geological, geomorphological, geographical and biogeographical characteristics and evolution using various sampling and dating techniques and landscape evolution models. We improve the methodology of luminescence dating techniques.
