Disciplinary interests in physical geography:

• Glacier history during the last ice age (the Weichselian) with special focus on the last deglaciation, and Holocene glacier fluctuations.
• Palaeoclimatic reconstructions (winter precipitation as snow, and direction and strength of wind) based on fluctuations in glacier equilibrium-line altitudes (ELAs), independent proxies for summer temperature and proglacial lake sediments, as well as aeolian deposits (wind-blown sand and loess).
• Reconstruction of Holocene river floods based on lacustrine sediments, and formation of landforms (canyons) shaped by flowing water/glacial-lake outburst floods (GLOFS).
• Reconstruction and palaeoclimatic implications of debris flows and snow avalanches during the Holocene.
• Palaeoclimatic implications of periglacial processes and landforms.
