Dr. Thomas Iserloh is a specialist in landscape management, nature conservation, and river maintenance in the District of Trier-Saarburg, working within the district’s water and nature conservation authorities. He also serves as an external lecturer and associate researcher in Physical Geography at Trier University.
He holds a degree in Environmental Science (Diplom-Umweltwissenschaftler) and a doctoral degree (Dr. rer. nat.). His expertise covers geomorphological, hydrological, and soil-physical processes, as well as human–environment interactions and the enforcement of water, soil, and environmental law. In the Trier-Saarburg District, his work includes nature-based flood protection, river development and maintenance, municipal land management, and soil conservation.
Dr. Iserloh’s research combines field and laboratory methods to investigate soil detachment, transport processes, and the effects of rainfall and wind on erosion dynamics. He is also recognized for his contributions to developing portable rainfall and wind simulators used in experimental geomorphology.
In his teaching, he covers a broad range of topics in physical geography, including fluvial, glacial, periglacial, aeolian, karst, and coastal geomorphology, alongside applied field and laboratory methods. His numerous scientific publications and collaborative research projects reflect his dedication to understanding and quantifying soil erosion and land degradation processes across diverse landscapes.
