Biography
PROF. DR. ANDREAS MULCH,is currently working Director, Senckenberg Research Institute and Natural History Museum Frankfurt. Current Projects: Neogene to Quaternary tectono-geomorphic Evolution and paleo-hydrology of the South Central Andes, NW Argentina, DFG (2012-2014)
Research Interest
His primary research interest is the interplay between the processes that shape the Earth’s surface and their geodynamic counterparts at depth, in particular interactions between climate, landscape evolution, and mountain building. The terrestrial biosphere plays an important role in various aspects of this research including controls on the global carbon cycle, atmospheric moisture transport, and weathering and erosion.
