Laurent recently finished his PhD at Tulane University in New Orleans and is now based in Vancouver working as a physical scientist for the Geological Survey of Canada. He uses numerical models and laboratory experiments to study how landscapes respond to climatic and tectonic disturbances and how sediment routing systems transmit information. 

Tamara is a PhD student in Earth and Space Sciences at the University of Washington. Her research aims to understand the evolution of Earth’s surface in response to geomorphic and tectonic processes. To this end, she quantifies deformation and erosion rates from the landscape record using field, lab, and modeling techniques. Currently, she investigates the evolution of strike-slip faults and their signature in the landscape on timescales from decades to millions of years. 

Anne-Laure is a post-doctoral researcher in the River Basin Group at the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano, Italy. Her research focuses on the development and application of models, from subsurface structure to land surface processes. She currently simulates alpine bedload transport in the context of climate change and models a range of surface processes from hydrological melt regimes to glacier and hillslope erosion. She enjoys fieldwork and loves coding with her colleagues in the evenings. 

Elena is a postdoctoral researcher at the Institute of Earth and Surface Dynamics of the University of Lausanne (Switzerland). Her research applies luminescence and cosmogenic geochronological techniques to constrain glacial and postglacial geomorphic processes and sediment dynamics in the European Alps.

Jakob is a postdoctoral researcher at the Chair of Physical Geography at the University of Eichstätt–Ingolstadt, Germany. His research focuses on alpine geomorphic processes and their response to recent climate change, with particular emphasis on debris-flow dynamics in the European Alps. He works extensively with high-resolution topographic data, including airborne and terrestrial LiDAR and UAV surveys, and uses historical photographs and lichenometry to investigate past process dynamics.
