About
The research in the Iversen lab borders between landscape geography and freshwater sciences. Focusing on both standing and running waters, we study contemporary changes in landform types and functional adaptations to the local environment. We like to build scalable landscape models but also enjoy muddy fieldwork and both approaches are welcome in our lab.
