MAKE A CHANGE

In 2018 I made my Master degree at the University of Potsdam, where I investigated debris-flow susceptibility at the Route 7 in Mendoza using machine learning algorithms. Now I am joining the doctorate program IRTG-StRATEGy which concentrates on the surface processes, tectonics, and georesources. My study area will be the Lago Buenos Aires and Lago Pueyrredon in Patagonia, where I focus on the climate-tectonic impacts on surface processes. Here low-gradient mega landslides are generated in the glaciated Andean foreland intersecting with morphological landformes. This exhibits an exciting opportunity for exploring the until now rather unknown role of mass wasting in the glacial forelands during the para-glacial period of the Andes.
