Although best known for his contributions to the tectonic geomorphology of the Central Andes, Manfred Strecker has made fundamental contributions to our understanding of tectonics, climate and landscape, in South America, the Himalayas, Tibet, Middle East, Europe and Africa. His research interests include evolution of tectonic stress fields; relationships between tectonics and climate, orographic barriers, associated erosion, sedimentation patterns and landscape evolution (Andes, Pamir, Himalaya, Anatolian Plateau); paleoseismology and active tectonics; earthquake-related natural hazards in Central Asia, Turkey and the Andes; structural history of rifts; geothermal resources in East Africa.
