Biography
I describe myself as a Quaternary geochronologist, with a keen focus on methodological frameworks and application-based research of optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dating. My specialisation and skill set range across geomorphology, stratigraphy and sedimentology, and I am particularly interested in landscapes where human responses to (palaeo)environmental changes can be invesitgated concurrently.
