PhD ProjectKremer1

Quantifying human impact and recent climate change using clastic sediments from lacustrine records in western Switzerland (Supervision: Dr. Stéphanie Girardclos)

Lake sediments are good archives of human and/or climate induced environmental changes at local and regional scale.The PhD Project aims to reconstruct recent past changes in clastic input from Lake Geneva with a focus on flood and mass movement deposit analysis using high-resolution seismic reflexion and sediment core data (more information).

- Reconstruction of sublacustrine mass movement events and their trigger mechanismsKremer3

- Reconstruction of flood events and paleoclimate using lake sediments

- Impact of lacustrine natural hazards and paleoclimate variability on human settlements

TEACHING ASSISTANT

- Introduction to Excel (Master MUSE, UNIGE)

- Limnogeology - Seismostratigraphy
