Analysis of Migration Processes due to Environmental Conditions between 40,000 and 14,000 a BP in the Rhine-Meuse Area

Soil, Soil, Soil: it’s all about Soil – being on the German Soil Society Conference during the International Year of Soils 2015

In September 2015, the conference of the German Soil Society took place in Munich. Soil, soil, soil: it’s all about soil. The days before and after the conference, several field trips were offered. I participated in a one-day field trip on paleosols and their dating techniques in the surroundings of Munich.

During the conference, one could dive into topics on physical and hydrological soil processes, gas fluxes in soils, digital soil mapping, image analyzing techniques in soil science, forest soil in times of climate change, interaction of soils and aquatic systems, relationships between soils and plant growth, and many many more.

I gave my first presentation on a professional level within the paleosol session. My topic was on loess-paleosol sequences of the Northern Harz Foreland. I got good and useful feedback from the science community for the next steps of my studies.
