Hortense Carmelle (University Lyon, France) and Marisol Medina (PUCP Lima, Peru) were visiting us from October until December 2025. Hortense was working on an interim project between her Masters and PhD looking at Patagonia, and Marisol was working on a masters thesis for her engineering qualification in Peru, looking at the Cordillera Blanca in Peru.
The 2025 Outstanding Student and PhD candidate Presentation (OSPP) Award is awarded to Isabel Wapenhans for the poster/PICO entitled:Can Low-Temperature Thermochronology Constrain Quaternary Glacial Erosion? A Case Study from the Tauern Window, Eastern European Alps (Wapenhans, I.; van der Beek, P.; Colleps, C.; Bernard, M.; Gong, L.; Mariotti, A.; Amalberti, J.) Click here to download
The Uni Potsdam / COOLER group return from a successful conference in Kanazawa. PhD students Fujun Wang and Isabel Wapenhans were among just seven prize winners recognised for outstanding presentations. Peter and Lingxiao also ran a well-attended course on the software PecubeGUI, attracting around 50 participants. The conference provided an excellent opportunity to exchange ideas
All members of the COOLER research group will present their research at the 19th International Conference on Thermochronology in Kanazawa, Japan, September 14-20, 2025. Watch the programme for oral presentations by Lingxiao Gong and Peter van der Beek, and posters by Julien Amalberti, Cody Colleps and Isabel Wapenshans. Peter, Lingxiao and Isabel will also be
In a paper published in Geology and led by Cody Colleps, we use the famous Fish Canyon Tuff age standard to test the capacity of 4He/3He thermochronology to (1) reproduce the known rapid volcanic cooling history of the tuff at a distal sampling location and (2) resolve the unknown post-eruptive burial and exhumation history at
In a paper published in AGU Advances and led by Maxime Bernard, we suggest an alternative way to generate high-elevation low-relief surfaces in glaciated landscapes, and reconcile some apparently contradictory observations from Norway.
