The Chair of Geomorphology investigates how changes in climate and human influence affect processes on the Earth's surface, but also to what extent geomorphological forms and processes provide information about the climate of the past. Our research focuses on the geomorphology of arid regions, including Central Asia, Iran and North Africa, glacial geomorphology and fluvial geomorphology in Central Europe. A central focus is the influence of current climate change on the Earth's surface processes, both in arid regions and in Central Europe.
On 25 June 2025 at 16:30 there will be an information event in room 222 in the Institute of Geographie and Geology on the new Master GEOSPHERES - Geographic Science Approaches to Environmental Challenges. The event is open to all interested students!
The inaugural lecture by Prof. Dr Georg Stauch from the Chair of Geomorphology at the Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg took place on 23 April. The title of the lecture was ‘Geomorphology in the Anthropocene’
The geomorphology team is delighted to have been accepted for the project proposal 'GEO-XR: XR for geographical spatial analyses'. The project is led by Dr C. Büdel and Dr A. Tintrup gen. Suntrup.
