We develop models that investigate the relationship between climate change, biodiversity and ecosystem functions on local to global scales for the past and for the future. Besides this we also work on population biology.
>> Job offer: Research Associate (m/f/d) in Vegetation Modelling (full time position)
My main research interest is to understand the distribution of life on earth (e.g. species, biodiversity, vegetation types, ecosystems) through space and time. I am particularly interested in interactions between climate and the terrestrial biosphere. This includes potential impacts of climate change on species, ecosystems and associated ecosystem services, as well as the role of the biosphere in the earth climate system (e.g. carbon and water cycling). Methodologically, vegetation and ecosystem modelling at local to global scales has been at the core of my work.
