Research interests:
-
Land degradation/desertification, its driving
processes and interactions with “Global Change, Climate and
Biodiversity” focussing on Africa, Asia, South America, Mediterranean
region and Iceland
-
System dynamic
modelling of coupled human-environment dryland systems
-
Geomorphology/paleogeomorphology: Geochemical and physical processes
interacting with bedrock landscapes.

I am presently contributing to
the EU research project
DeSurvey
(2005-2010) on a 70%- basis.
DeSurvey is an EU
FP6 Integrated Project (IP) on desertification considering the
interaction and importance of socio-economy, climate and landscape
vulnerability to land degradation. The project started in March 2005
and is planned for a 5-years period. It includes 39 partners and
covers geographic regions in the Mediterranean Europe, Tunisia,
Algeria, Morocco, China, Senegal and Chile. The EU contribution is
almost 8 million €.
I am participating
in several of the modelling, remote sensing and GIS/geomatics modules
and WPs and I lead DeSurvey
Module 1.10: Project monitoring,
evaluation, contingency planning and management.
Take a look at our DeSurvey research in Inner Mongolia, China:

My teaching:
I have been teaching at
all levels and in many fields of Earth Sciences and Physical Geography
over the years. My recent special lecturing interests focus on:
- Assessment,
monitoring and modelling of dryland dynamics
- Geomorphology with a
special reference to land degradation and desertification
