Research work:

Starting as an applied geologist with a major in geophysics my diploma thesis was more structural and petrography related (Proterozoic rocks in Arizona, USA). For my PhD I switched from the terrestrial to the marine realm. Today my interests are engineering geology and soil mechanics, offshore seabed characterization, geotechnical soil testing (e.g. dynamic triaxial testing of foundation soils), glacial- und interglacial sedimentation, seismostratigraphy and 3-D visualization of the geology of construction sites, turbidite sedimentation on continental slopes and rises, Antarctic Cenozoic ice- and climate history, down hole logs, fluid structures in sediments (hydraulic ground failure and piping), sediment physical characterization of mud volcanoes and diapirs in forearc recycling processes and sub-marine in situ tools (CPTu-GOST).
