Professur für Geomorphologie und Bodengeographie

Titelbild

Die physische Geographie untersucht mit naturwissenschaftlichen Methoden die Geofaktoren (u.a. Relief/Gestaltung der Erdoberfläche, Klima, Boden, Wasser, Vegetation) von Landschaften, erfasst ihr erdgeschichtliches und historisches Erbe und beschreibt/modelliert die in ihnen gegenwärtig wirkenden ökosystemaren Zusammenhänge.

Zu den Forschungsschwerpunkten der Professur für Geomorphologie und Boden­geographie gehören u.a. die Bereiche Umweltforschung, Geomorphologie und Bodengeographie, Landschaftsentwicklung, Trockengebietsforschung und Geoarchäologie.

Weitere Informationen zu den Mitarbeitenden, einzelnen Forschungsprojekten, dem Labor für Geomorphologie und Geoökologie und dem Lumineszenzlabor sowie zum Exkursionsangebot der Professur finden sich auf den einzelnen Unterseiten.

Informationen zu den Lehrveranstaltungen der Abteilung Physiogeographie finden Sie auf den Seiten des LSF und im kommentierten Vorlesungsverzeichnis. Aktuell zu vergebende Themen für Abschlussarbeiten finden sich hier.
