Forschung

Ich untersuche den "nassen" Kohlenstoffkreislauf, den terrestrischen Kohlenstoffkreislauf under wasserbestimmten Bedingungen. Wen ich eine Wahl habe, ziehe ich Jahrtausende den Jahrzehnten vor, und ich habe Klimaperioden von MIS 11 bis ein paar Jahrtausende in die Zukunft untersucht.

Der nasse Kohlenstoffkreislauf enthält drei Elemente: Den gefrorenen Kohlenstoffkreislauf (Permafrost), den anaeroben Kohlenstoffkreislauf (Moore) und den Methankreislauf. Die Modellierungsfragen sind die Bestimmung von Feuchtgebieten, der Kohlenstoffkreislauf in Mooren, Kohlenstoff im Permafrost, und der komplette Methankreislauf.

Anderes als Forschung

Zur Zeit habe ich regelmäßig eine Vorlesung:

  • Terrestrial Ecosystem Modelling in the Integrated Climate System Science MSc programme.

Wir geben Folien heraus, bitte eine Nachricht für den Zugang.

Regelmäßig habe ich auch diese Vorlesungen gegeben:

  • Dynamical palaeoclimatology für den MSc Meteorology und Integrated Climate System Science.
  • Blockseminare zu Entscheidungsfindung unter Unsicherheit an der TU München.
