Sugam Aryal

Sugam Aryal serves as a Lecturer in the Department of Geography and Geosciences within the Faculty of Natural Sciences at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU). They specialize in advanced methodologies for Master's-level instruction, particularly in tree-ring analysis and its applications in environmental reconstruction.

Research interests center on dendrochronology as a tool for understanding historical climate patterns and environmental changes. Their work bridges field-based tree-ring data collection with analytical techniques to reconstruct paleoclimatic conditions, contributing to broader climate science and environmental monitoring frameworks.

Teaching responsibilities include the Advanced Methods MSc: Tree Ring Analysis seminar across multiple academic years (Winter 2023/24, 2024/25, and 2025/26), structured as a 2 SWS English-language course with capped enrollment of 20 students. Recent iterations feature intensive practical sessions such as individual events on July 18, 2025, and January 23, 2026.

Administrative context includes active participation in university digital transition initiatives, notably referenced in FAU's StudOn platform announcements regarding video portal migrations affecting course materials through late September 2025.
