Taiwan is one of Earth's most interesting locations, because high uplift rates meet with powerful taifuns. Therefore we set up an observation network of high precision meteorological, hydrological and seismic stations.

With the monitoring in the framework of the TERENO-project we aim at better understand the formation processes of lake sediments for an advanced reconstruction of past climate and environment.

Cliff coasts distinctively separate the terrestrial and marine realms and adjust catastrophically by slope collapses with severe consequences for both of these realms. To better understand collapse timing and drivers, we seismically monitor the chalk cliff section of Rügen, Germany.
