Nils is a Postdoc in the STACY project and PI of the NFDI4Earth Pilot "Propagating complex uncertainties in data cubes". His research interests include glacial-interglacial climate and vegetation variability, abrupt climate changes, statistical climate reconstructions from pollen records, and climate field reconstructions with Bayesian statistics.
