Research questions
Most of the research of Sebastian Krastel is related to sediment transport processes and associated geohazards. Central research questions include:
- What processes control sediment (re)deposition and transport on the shelf, across the shelf break and on the continental slope?
- What are the dominant processes and environmental controls of mass wasting?
- How dangerous are slope failures on continental margins and in lakes?
- How can we use sedimentary archives in lakes in order to reconstruct their geological evolution?
- How do submarine volcanoes and volcanic islands evolve?
