About

Michael Zech is a Professor and Director of the Institut at Technische Universität Dresden, Germany. His research focuses on paleoecology, paleoclimate, and the impact of human activities on landscapes, with recent articles examining topics such as catchment dynamics in tropical reservoirs, terpenoid profiling in Ethiopian plant species, and the climatic controls of Holocene fire dynamics in South Africa. He employs multi-proxy analysis to investigate environmental changes over the past millennia, contributing to a deeper understanding of ecological systems and their historical context.
