Research interests

I reconstruct those Quaternary environmental changes that are mediated by land cover to assess the role of climate, humans and internal system dynamics on Earth surfaces processes and landscape evolution, i.e.

 

-> Palaeofire regimes using sedimentary charcoal and fire biomarkers (anhydrosugars)

 

-> Sediment transport and depositional processes using grain size end-member modelling analysis

 

-> Lake level changes using sedimentological and geomorphological evidence

 

... based on lacustrine and terrestrial sediment archives

 

... across spatial and temporal scales

 

... considering dating and proxy measurement uncertainties
