Tjalling de Haas is an Associate Professor at Utrecht University specializing in Hazards and Earth Observation. His research encompasses the full sediment source-to-sink chain with a focus on bedrock weathering, debris flows, and river estuaries on both Earth and Mars. Currently, he is investigating debris-flow entrainment and the evolution of debris-flow fans during avulsions, alongside the temporal development of Martian gullies. His projects include an NWO-VENI project aimed at unraveling debris-flow entrainment through a combination of fieldwork in the European Alps and physical modeling at the new Earth Science Simulation laboratory at Utrecht University. Tjalling also collaborates with Dr. Shiva Pudasaini from the University of Bonn on a DFG funded project focusing on landslide-tsunami interactions, aimed at creating tools to predict and mitigate tsunami hazards globally through a mix of physical and numerical modeling. As the chair of the Planetary Geomorphology working group of the International Association of Geomorphologists (IAG), he shares insights on planetary geomorphology through publications and online platforms.
