About me
I am a senior lecturer in physical geography, with special research interest in geomorphology and soil science in tropical environments. I have been involved or are involved in the following research projects:
- Landslides and land use in the highlands of Kenya and Tanzania
- Pre-colonial irrigation systems in Kenya, Tanzania and Sydafrika
- Natural resource use and mangrove ecology in the Rufiji delta, Tanzania
- Geomorphic evolution of the Save River delta, Mocambique
In the research I have collaborated with human geographers, archaeologists, human ecologists and hydrologists.
Lately, I have mainly devoted myself to administration and teaching.
Currently I mostly teach at the Bachelor's program in geography, where I am responsible for teaching regional geography, geohazards and natural resources / resource utilization.
I also teach on soil science and geomorphological process theory, and I have previously been responsible for advanced courses on soil and water, and tropical environment and natural resource management.
