Research
The Carbon Cycle group studies the interactions and feedbacks between atmosphere, biosphere and hydrosphere. We focus on biogeochemical cycles and processes using process-based and data-driven models, data-assimilation, and machine learning approaches.
Currently, our projects cover verification of carbon sequestration in agricultural fields, forests, and in urban environments.
Our scale varies from individual plots to regional, and global scale, with a particular focus on northern regions. We utilize land-surface models (such as JSBACH, QUINCY and LandscapeDNDC) as well as develop new methods (such as CARBS and SPY-C) to improve process understanding and quantification.
We collaborate closely with the Climate System Modelling, Greenhouse Gases, and Greenhouse Gas Modelling groups as well as the Atmospheric Composition unit and the Space and Earth Observation Centre.
