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.
