Coding: primarily R. Occasionally PostgreSQL, Shell, and tools like AWK and SED.
GIS: QGIS for quick and dirty approaches. GRASS and GMT (more rarely at the moment) for long-term projects
Lab and Fieldwork: pollen analysis with focus on European post-glacial vegetation. Organization of field campaigns. Manual corings. Targeted sampling strategies. Chemical preparation of lake and wetland sediments.
