Team of the working group climatology and the biosphere

Prof. Dr. Kira Rehfeld

Professor of Climatology and the Biosphere and leader of the Emmy Noether group STACY.

Dr. Markus Maisch

heads the working group's laboratory and conducts research on isotopic signatures during extreme precipitation events and on experimental approaches to CO2 removal from the atmosphere.

Postdocs

Dr. Jean-Phillipe Baudouin

researches climate variability during the last glacial cycle in the PalMod project.

Dr. Helene Hoffmann

researches paleoclimate using ice cores, which she analyzes with Laser ablation measurements.

Dr. Valdir F. Novello

works on isotopes, paleoclimate, speleothems, and other cave studies. Other research interests are the South American Monsoon, archeology, and paleomagnetism.

Dr. Nabeela Sadaf 

works on the linkage of variability across different timescales during the Deglaciation using climate model simulations.

 

Dr. Yana Savytska

works on atmospheric CO2 monitoring and the impact of vegetation variability on its level.

 

Dr. Nils Weitzel

works on climate and vegetation variability during the last glacial cycle.

PhD Students

Moritz Adam, M.Sc.

researches how effects of carbon dioxide removal on the Earth system and land use decisions could interact.

Daniel Boateng, M.Sc.

employs isotope-enabled climate models to study paleoenvironmental changes, including monsoon dynamics and past surface elevation and machine learning to downscale future climate projections to the regional scale

Arya Samanta, M.Sc.

models the climatic consequences of large-scale surface modifications for energy harvest and carbon dioxide removal.

Elisa Ziegler, M.Sc.

researches climate variability under warming and its dependence on factors such as background state or temporal and spatial scales.

Research assistants

Laura Braschoß, M.Sc.

researches the state-dependency of hydroclimate changes.

 

Muriel Racky, M.Sc.

investigates how choices in climate model tuning procedures impact the resulting climatologies, in particular for the last deglaciation.
