About me

I started as a PostDoc at ACES-L in autumn 2023 and I am studying the feedbacks between a changing climate and vegetation with special focus on volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and biogenic aerosols. I am especially interested how changes in tree physiology affect their emissions, and what their climate impacts are. We want to investigate whether there is a connection between plant physiological behaviour expressed, e.g., through sap flow, and biogenic VOCs, and how those connections are linked to environmental variables including, for example, photosynthetically active radiation and cloudiness.

I am also part of the EU project FORCeS (https://forces-project.eu/) in which I have focus on the aerosol-cloud-precipitation interactions. I have a special focus on the effects of clouds and precipitation during the travel of the airmass by utilising long-term observations and General Circulation Model (GCMs) data within the Lagrangian trajectory framework.

Feedbacks between a changing climate and vegetation (CLIVE)

Feedbacks between a changing climate and vegetation (CLIVE): The role of volatile organic compounds and biogenic aerosols. CLIVE aims to explore how forests, particularly in boreal and tropical regions, influence climate change through their interactions with carbon and water cycles.
