Associate Professor
Marthe Gjerde
Field of work
I am a Quaternary geologist mainly interested in glacial deposits, glacier dynamics, reconstructing former glacial extent, as well as understanding and quantifying earth surface processes and their effect on landscape evolution. I am currently enrolled in the RAW project and the JOSTICE project.
My research interests are:
- Quaternary geology and palaeoclimate
- Glacial geology and glaciology
- Climate change and palaeoclimatic reconstruction from sedimentary archives
- Geohazards
- Geomorphology
