Main Focus
My main research interest focuses on exchange processes between
terrestrial ecosystems and the lower atmosphere. My research combines
observational approaches with atmospheric and biogeochemical modeling across scales, for example to constrain the budgets of greenhouse
gases and energy within structured, complex landscapes, and to identify important
processes and influence factors that dominate these budgets. A special focus is
placed on approaches that allow to bridge between scales, and thus facilitate a
reliable upscaling of small-scale, process-based information and direct
coupling to coarser resolution datasets.
