The Earth surface is the interface between exogenic and endogenic forces; it is the template and product of water and material fluxes; and habitat of life. The overarching goal of my research is to improve our understanding about how processes shape the Earth surface, and how they affect and interact with human activity. In particular, I am interested in environmental changes and high magnitude-low frequency events and their role in landscape evolution on a variety of spatial and temporal scales, in the past and today. My interdisciplinary and collaborative research approach combines geomorphological and sedimentological field work, geodesy and geomorphometry, as well as statistical and physics-based modelling. Besides its scientific goals, my research aims to inform land use planning about potentially adverse effects of Earth surface processes, and the sustainable use of water and soil resources.

I am a soil scientist interested in understanding and predicting how soil functions respond to environmental and anthropogenic change. I am particularly interested in carbon sequestration, the preservation of biodiversity, nutrient cycling and food production. I develop new methods for measuring, mapping and monitoring soil, and use empirical and mechanistic models for prediction at relevant spatial and temporal scales.
