Thomas Iserloh

Dr. Thomas Iserloh is a lecturer and research associate at the Department of Physical Geography at the University of Trier. He holds a degree in Environmental Science (Diplom-Umweltwissenschaftler) and a doctoral degree (Dr. rer. nat.) and specializes in geomorphological, hydrological, and soil-physical processes. His main research interests include experimental soil erosion, runoff generation, and land degradation, particularly in the context of steep-slope viticulture and Mediterranean environments. His work combines field and laboratory methods to study soil detachment, transport processes, and the impact of rainfall and wind on erosion dynamics. Dr. Iserloh is also known for his contributions to the development of portable rainfall and wind simulators used in experimental geomorphology. In his teaching, he covers a wide range of topics in physical geography, including fluvial, glacial, periglacial, aeolian, karst, and coastal geomorphology, as well as applied field and laboratory methods. His numerous scientific publications and collaborative research projects reflect his commitment to understanding and quantifying soil erosion and land degradation processes across diverse landscapes.
