Research profile

For me, the greatest challenge of our time is global climate change in combination with the ongoing trend of urbanization. I am convinced that understanding ecological processes as accurately as possible is the basis for a sustainable approach towards our natural environment. This is not easy to achieve because our planet Earth is a complex system, and the relevant processes are often non-linear or even chaotic. In particular, the interactions at the land surface play a crucial role in the Earth's climate system, as this represents the main interface between its compartments, the atmosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere, pedosphere, and anthroposphere. One major objective of my research is to inform the development of climate adaptation and mitigation strategies on different scales ranging from cities and ecosystems over regions to the national and continental level. To that end, we employ direct measurements fluxes of energy, water and greenhouse gases between the land-surface and atmosphere and conduct numerical simulations of the interactions between the natural and built environment and the atmosphere. This allows us to investigate the potential of nature-based climate solutions and to provide recommendations for action to local authorities and other stakeholders. Due to the complex nature of these challenges, I strongly believe that collaboration and inter- or transdisciplinary research are key-prerequisites to be successful in this field of science.
