Introduction
My main research interests are sediment storage and dynamics in high mountain environments, geomorphometry as well as the application of geophysical methods in geomorphology. In my PhD I focus on the storage of coarse-grained sediment along the flow path from rockwall source regions to large sedimentary sinks in major alpine valleys. The aim of my research is to close the gap between detailed small scale studies and large scale sediment budgets.

There is a lack of explanatory approaches and analytical data on distribution patterns and formative controls of block- and talus slopes in the Dry Andes of Argentina, despite these being widespread and characteristic elements of the extensive periglacial belt. By using geomorphological mapping and statistical evaluation, spatial distribution patte...
The present figures are supplementary material for our accepted full paper, which will be published within the framework of the 12th International Conference on Permafrost (ICOP) in Whitehorse 2024. There will be an on-site oral presentation on the contents of the paper in Session 3B - Characteristics of Permafrost in the Andes. The link to the pap...
Within the extensive periglacial belt of the dry Andean high mountain range (17°30'S to 35°S), the most visible expression of creeping mountain permafrost is the occurrence of rock glaciers, which have been studied systematically in the last decades (e.g. Schrott, 1996; Trombotto et al., 1999; Halla et al. 2021). Active, inactive and relict rock gl...
Outsize fans are characterized by seemingly disproportionately small feeder catchments in relation to their fan area. Often having escaped rigorous scientific inquiry, the formative processes of these landforms remain inconclusive, supposedly ranging from catastrophic mass-wasting processes to gradual fluvial formation. Here we apply a multi-method...
This article investigates the usage of terrestrial laser scanner (TLS) point clouds for monitoring the gradual movements of soil masses due to freeze-thaw activity and water saturation, commonly referred to as solifluction. Solifluction is a geomorphic process which is characteristic for hillslopes in (high-)mountain areas, primarily alpine perigla...
Mountain permafrost is an important geomorphological component of alpine environments with many influences and high spatial heterogeneity, having a considerable hydrological and hazard-related relevance. Hence, modeling of its distribution is an important task, especially in the densely populated Alps where a large share of infrastructure is locate...

There is a notable discrepancy between detailed sediment budget studies in small headwater catchments (< 10² km²) focusing on the identification of sedimentary landforms in the field (e.g. talus cones, moraine deposits, fans) and large scale studies (> 10³ km²) in higher order catchments applying modeling and/or remote sensing based approaches for...
Alpine regions are characterized by steep topographic gradients and high sediment fluxes conditioned by the glacial and periglacial environment. Despite substantial transport energy in mountain environments, sediment flux in large river systems is frequently disconnected from alpine headwaters. This is due to significant storage of coarse-grained s...
