Funktion und Aufgaben:

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

I test my hypotheses using sediments from big catchments along the Chilean climatic gradient and marine sediments adjacent to the outlet of these catchments.

My main working tools are coding in R, python and matlab to analyze long term climatic and vegetation data. Additionally, I do wet chemistry labwork to obtain isotope data ( isotopes of C, Li, H, ¹⁰Be/⁹Be meteoric) from riverine and marine sediments. I  also leverage on previous data from similar regions doing global compilations.
