Sedimentary Geology Innsbruck
Welcome to SedGeoInn: We investigate sedimentary records to understand how tectonics and climate shape Earth’s systems. Using and newly developing geophysical, sedimentological and core scanning data science techniques, we quantify geophysical and geomorphological hazards and study system recovery across various timescales
