Sophia Franziska Dosch

Sophia Franziska Dosch is a Researcher at the Department of Geomorphology, GFZ German Research Centre for Geosciences. Her work focuses on sediment and carbon cycling in river systems, particularly in the Río Bermejo basin of Argentina. She completed her PhD in 2025 at Universität Potsdam with a dissertation titled Synergies of sediment and carbon cycling in the Río Bermejo, Argentina. Her research integrates fluvial geomorphology, geochemistry, and stable isotope analysis to understand long-range transport processes of organic matter and sediment. Key projects involve analyzing bedload composition, water chemistry, and lithospheric flexure effects on landscape evolution. Collaborators include Niels Hovius, Dirk Sachse, and international teams investigating Andean foreland basin dynamics.

Publications emphasize field-based datasets from the Río Bermejo, including time-series water isotope measurements and major element concentrations. She contributes to open-access scientific data through platforms like PANGAEA and GFZ's Publication Database. Current work addresses global carbon cycle implications of fluvial organic carbon transport.
