Understanding how alpine regions respond to climate change is challenging. This project studies landscape response to retreating glaciers in the Southern Alps of New Zealand. A novel combination of analytical techniques and computational models enables us to measure and simulate processes related to climatic fluctuations. We will study the impact of thawing permafrost, frost cracking and landslides on large-scale erosion and sediment dynamics over the last 15.000 years. Our findings will be essential to understand Earth’s surface response to past, current, and future climate changes, and its associated geohazards.
