(2006)
Sediment flux plays a central role within evolution of land surfaces and Earth's biogeochemical system. Within sediment flux systems, the role of sediment storage is often the least understood part. This study analyses the ...
Biogeomorphic dynamics in the Turtmann glacier forefield, Switzerland
(2017-05-19)
Worldwide, glacier retreat enlarges glacier foreland areas, which are characterized by pronounced geomorphic and ecologic dynamics. Feedbacks between these dynamics are believed to drive glacier foreland landscape development, ...
Rock slope instability in alpine geomorphic systems, Switzerland
(2018-04-26)
Faced with the hazard potential and geomorphic importance of rock slopes adjusting to glacier retreat and current climate warming, the motivation of this dissertation is to increase our systemic and process understanding ...
