Does the structural inventory control tunnel-valley formation? – Insights from the North German Basin Open
Tunnel valleys are impressive erosional landforms and may attain extreme depths of almost 600 m. Open and buried tunnel valleys have been mapped in many formerly glaciated sedimentary basins. Characteristics of tunnel valleys include …

The impact of the structural framework of the North German Basin on Pleistocene tunnel‐valley formation Open
Tunnel valleys are impressive subglacial erosional landforms and may attain depths of almost 600 m. Climatic and glaciological factors exert the primary control on tunnel‐valley formation. Furthermore, regional geological features, e.g. fa…

Assessing the impact of potential future glaciations on the long-term safety of radioactive waste repositories: relevant processes and examples from current studies Open
The safety of repositories for high-level radioactive waste has to be assessed for very long time periods (e.g., 1 Ma by German regulations), which implies that the impact of potential future cold stages and glaciations on the geological b…

Integrated 3D Seismic Analysis of Pleistocene Tunnel Valleys and their infills in the German North Sea sector  Open
Our research project is dedicated to the development of a comprehensive model for analysing the distribution, dimensions, and evolution of Pleistocene tunnel valleys and their deposits in northern Germany and adjacent areas. The primary ob…

The past is the key to the future – considering Pleistocene subglacial erosion for the minimum depth of a radioactive waste repository Open
Erosion during potential future glaciations, especially the incision of deep tunnel valleys, is a major challenge for the long-term safety of a radioactive waste repository. Tunnel valleys are a common feature of formerly glaciated sedimen…

Iron (hydr)oxide formation in Andosols under extreme climate conditions Open
Redox-driven biogeochemical cycling of iron plays an integral role in the complex process network of terrestrial ecosystems, such as carbon and phosphorous cycling, the fate of nutrients and greenhouse gas emissions. We investigate Fe-(hyd…
