Jana Eichel is an Assistant Professor at Utrecht University specializing in biogeomorphology, particularly in the study of rivers and estuaries. Her research focuses on understanding the feedback mechanisms between Earth surface processes and plant interactions that shape landscapes and ecosystems, especially in mountain and polar regions experiencing rapid climate change. Through a combination of fieldwork, experimental techniques, remote sensing, and modeling, she explores the complex interactions of geomorphology and ecology. Over the past ten years, she has developed her independent research agenda in mountain biogeomorphology and currently leads an NWO-Veni project titled 'Go grow? Moving mountain slopes meet migrating mountain plants', which aims to unravel the biogeomorphic feedbacks and quantify the effects of future slope movement on biodiversity.
