Funktion und Aufgaben:

My research centers on answering the next question: How climate and vegetation changes impact earth surface processes like erosion and weathering?

To investigate this, I use soils, sediments from big catchments along the Chilean climatic gradient and marine sediments adjacent to the outlet of these catchments.

I do wet chemistry labwork to obtain elemental concentrations from my samples and isotope data ( isotopes of C, Li, H, ¹⁰Be/⁹Be meteoric). In the lab my main working tools are instruments like the ICP-OES and mass spectrometers (ICP-MS, ICP-MC-MS, GC-MS, GC-IRMS).

Out of the lab I code in R, python and matlab to analyze my data, as well as long term climatic and vegetation datasets. I  also leverage on compiling data from similar regions in the world.
