Research interests

Natural and anthropogenic landscapes are subject to increasingly stressful environments. As an Earth scientist I adopt multidisciplinary approaches integrating empirical and computational methods such as process-driven numerical modelling of landscape evolution, monitoring of geomorphological change using UAV- and satellite-based remote sensing techniques, structural analyses and reconstructions of Earth's crustal evolution, geochronology and machine learning to improve our understanding of natural processes in the wider Earth System framework.

In doing so, I aim to identify potential feedbacks between tectonics, surface processes, and climate to eventually better understand the emergence of present-day biodiversity – and how, in turn, biodiversity will adapt to climate change. Critically, my research complements not only community-facing efforts but is also a crucial step towards designing locally tailored strategies to protect natural and anthropogenic ecosystems.
