Ecological modelling: from cells to ecosystems.
We develop and use both statistical and mechanistic models to better understand the functioning of hydrobiological systems. We employ models across all scales and levels of complexity. Applications range from the inference of physiological parameters from lab data to the long-term simulation of river and lake ecology.
Methods
- Data management and statistical analysis: data bases, linear and nonlinear statistical models, multivariate analysis, time series and AI approaches
- Simulation of dynamic systems: ordinary and partial differential equations and individual-based models
- Method development: effective implementation of dynamic models in R, Fortran and C/C++, parameter identification and scenario analysis
