The Max Planck Institute for Meteorology celebrated its 50th anniversary with a festive symposium and a reception at Hamburg City Hall. In addition to institute members, guests from academia, politics, and the general public, as well as companions and supporters, attended the events.
Carbon dioxide removal techniques (CDR) address the root cause of climate change by removing CO2 from the atmosphere: e.g. technical capture of carbon from the atmosphere. ocean fertilization to enhance uptake by biological systems, increasing the alcalinity of the ocean or afforestation on land.

Solar Radiation Management techniques (SRM) reflect sun light and heat back into space. They attempt to offset effects of increased greenhouse gas…
Research interest
My research interests encompass understanding the interaction between marine biogeochemical processes and the underlying physical conditions. My current focus is on quantifying the contribution of oceanic processes to the atmospheric CO2 rise during the last deglaciation (21,000 years ago to present) using the state-of-the-art Max Planck Institute Earth System Model (MPI-ESM). For this, I have been improving the representation of the global ocean biogeochemical processes in…

Research interests
I am a postdoctoral researcher at the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology, interested in land-atmosphere interactions within storm-resolving Earth System Models. My research explores questions such as which soil moisture conditions—wet or dry—can trigger precipitation in these high-resolution models. Additionally, I’m interested in how the estimation of carbon stocks and fluxes in storm-resolving models differs from current understandings.
Beyond my core research, I enjoy…
We investigate the full methane cycle over timescales of millennia. Within the Palmod, we developed a full representation of the natural methane cycle in MPI-ESM: We consider wetlands, wildfires, termites and herbivores as methane sources, and also determine the soil and atmospheric sinks of methane, the latter together with the MPI for chemistry.
We have investigated methane from the LGM to a millennium into the future, leading to two superb publications.
Modelling the global methane…

I arrived at the Max Planck Institute in Hamburg by a roundabout way. Nature, our Earth, and the universe have always interested me. That's why I started studying physics, in order to understand what holds the world together at its core. Physics is magnificent: armed with a toolbox of mathematics, physicists look out into the world…
