My research expertise is on marine geology. Her main research experience includes coastal and deep water geomorphology, seismic stratigraphy, sedimentary systems, sediment transport from the continent to deep sea areas, and she is particularly interested in the role played by (palaeo-) oceanography and -climatology in the construction and sculpting of continental margins, as well as the interaction between alongslope and downslope sedimentary processes. Also she is specialist in deep-sea mining. She has discovered and explained geological features in previously unknown areas of the seafloor, participate in research cruises onboard different oceanographic vessels, work in cooperation with international scientists from around the world.
