Curriculum/Vitae

Kathi is a post-doc working in the field of soil erosion and landscape hydrology. Her specific interest is on soil degradation and its impact on ecosystems on landscape-scale. Kathi's research areas are mainly located in Germany, especially Bavaria and the Uckermark (north-eastern Germany). During her PhD she dealt with tillage erosion and its impact on crop growth and carbon dynamics.
