Stefanie Tofelde was granted the PhD award during the Annual Meeting of  the German Geomorphology Group „AK Geomorphologie“ in Kiel on September 29, 2019

The PhD award honors “innovative, national and international relevant dissertations on geomorphological agendas and appreciates the exceptional research accomplishments of the award winners also as a source of ideas for future research”.

Ms Tofelde combines in her study “Signals stored in sediment – Fluvial sediments as records of landscape evolution” geomorphological and geological field observations with modelling studies and geochronology to understand the complex processes of landscape development of the Andes in North-western Argentina. The award goes to an open-minded scientist who knows how to cooperate and communicate with work groups of different nationalities and research areas. With her way of working she helps to build a bridge between the different earth science disciplines.
