  Master Thesis: "Colluvial deposits and paleosols in the catchments of lake "Tiefer See" near Hohengüstow (Uckermark) and lake "Tiefer See" near Klocksin (Mecklenburg) indicating historical soil erosion"
  
  This thesis considers historical soil erosion and sea level dynamics of two lakes located in the North German Lowland. Soil profiles were investigated with pedological-geomorphical and geochronologic methods. Single phases of erosion and sea level dynamics were differentiated with optically stimulated luminescence, portable OSL-reader and grain size analysis.
