We study how landscapes are shaped and changed over time through natural processes such as erosion, weathering and colonization of plants and animals, as well as how human activity affects these processes through land use and climate change.
An important issue is carbon storage in soil in different environments locally, regionally and globally. We study how interactions between climate, biological processes and the environment can affect the soil's ability to store or release carbon into the atmosphere. Remote sensing and geographic information systems are an important tool for mapping and analyzing various processes on the earth's surface.
