Scientific Officer in the Climate Change Unit
Trained as a geo-ecologist in Bayreuth I received my PhD in ecological chemistry in 1999. My expertise is the measurement and modelling of greenhouse gas fluxes from terrestrial and coastal ecosystems, with particular focus on the regional application of linked economic and biogeochemistry models. Currently I work mainly on the greenhouse gas balance in European agriculture in the frame of scientific networks, focusing on gaseous nitrogen compounds, and on methodological issues related to the national greenhouse gas inventories in agriculture.
The mission of the JRC is to provide customer-driven scientific and
technical support for the conception, development, implementation and
monitoring of EU policies. As a service of the European Commission, the
JRC functions as a reference centre of science and technology for the
Union. Close to the policy-making process, it serves the common
interest of the Member States, while being independent of special
interests, whether private or national.
