research

Her main research interests are in the areas of paleoenvironmental reconstruction, the early Quaternary paleoclimate, environmental history, soil erosion and the management of water catchment areas.

One of her main areas of research is the evaluation of the influence of traditional land management techniques on the landscape budget and the development of cultural landscapes. By combining the analysis of current processes, such as soil erosion, with research on the history of the environment, future developments in natural resources, such as water availability, should be able to be predicted using appropriate modeling.
