Postdoc

Education
  • Ph.D., Oceanography, University of Hamburg / Intl. Max Planck Research School on Earth System Modelling (2004-2007);
  • Diploma (M.Sc.), Geophysics, University of Kiel (1998-2004);
Research Interests
  • Understanding factors contributing to sea level change: steric and non-steric sources, regional dynamic sea level adjustments;
  • Climate-related Earth rotation variations;
  • Atmosphere-ocean-land interactions: natural variability and anthropogenic influence;
  • Hydrologic surface mass redistribution;
  • Time-variable gravity (GRACE);
  • Numerical Earth System simulations: rates and patterns of projected sea level change;
  • Arctic Ocean freshening: impacts on ocean circulation and sea ice;
Professional Experience
  • NASA Postdoctoral Fellow: Jet Propulsion Laboratory / California Institute of Technology (08/2008 to present);
  • Research Scientist: Max Planck Institute for Meteorology (Hamburg): Influence of volcanic eruptions on tropical Pacific climate variability;
Selected Awards
  • NASA Postdoctoral Fellowship (2008);
