Biography

Duna Roda Boluda is an Assistant Professor specializing in Geology and Geochemistry at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. Her research focuses on understanding the landscape responses shaped by tectonic processes, climate change, and lithological variations over geological time. She utilizes Quaternary records and combines sedimentological, geomorphological, geochemical, geochronological, remote sensing, and numerical modeling techniques to study sediment routing systems and the rates of erosion, sediment production, transport, and deposition. Duna's academic journey includes a PhD in Geology from Imperial College London where her thesis analyzed the erosional supply and sediment flux related to active normal faults. With experience as a Marie Curie Research Fellow at the German Research Centre for Geosciences, she contributes to expanding knowledge in her field and is actively engaged in teaching and research supervision, including courses on Sedimentary Systems and Master Thesis projects.
