Home / Jobs / Postdoctoral Position (12 Months) On Land Use Modeling
Besides, these approaches were originally developed for the most industrialized regions, which may limit their realism in representing production systems for other parts of the world. This postdoctoral project aims to improve the representation of agrarian and pastoral system dynamics in the Sahel region within global land-use models (e.g., MagPIE).

His supervisors are Dr. Patrick Laux and Prof. Dr. Harald Kunstmann. His research investigates how to optimize crop planting dates in order to support agriculture decision-making in the context of climate change in water-limited regions in West Africa. His poster at EGU 2014 describes a new approach for planting date optimization and shows key results about the impacts of optimized planting dates (OPDs) on maize productivity in Burkina Faso.

28 March 2022 MUNICH — Decades of global research have sparked the big question: can we really control the weather? According to a study published today in the journal Nonlinear Processes of Geophysics , this may soon be our new reality.

Home / Awards & medals / Louis Agassiz Medal / 2007 / Charles Raymond
Raymond’s work on surging glaciers, with students and colleagues, comprised a decade-long field study of Variegated Glacier in Alaska, whose surge in 1982-83 resulted in a collection of outstanding data and publications that still form the central corpus of knowledge about surging and surge mechanisms. Raymond has been a pioneer in applying numerical (finite element) methods in glaciology.
Home / Awards & medals / Robert Wilhelm Bunsen Medal / 2026 / Giovanni Chiodini
After his MSc, Chiodini was hired at L’Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia (INGV), the institution in charge of natural hazard monitoring in Italy, especially that of active volcanoes. Here his greatest contributions to global volcano monitoring arose from his new instrumentation, method development, and fundamental data. In a sense, Chiodini’s noteworthy scientific achievements are but a by-product of a lifelong career of service to the global community.
Home / Awards & medals / Hannes Alfvén Medal / 2022 / David J. McComas
These are just a few of David McComas’ scientific contributions, that have resulted in the exceptional record of publishing over 720 refereed papers, generating over 39,000 citations, and with an h-index of 100. Beyond these impressive numbers, many of his accomplishments defined the state-of-the-art in space plasma physics.
Home / Awards & medals / Christiaan Huygens Medal / 2008 / Horst Uwe Keller
Keller has authored/co-authored about 300 publications in the research fields Physics and Dynamics of Comets, Stellar Atmospheres, Interplanetary/interstellar gas, Planetary Atmospheres, Atmosphere-Soil Interaction, Methods of Image processing and Instrumentation. 127 articles in refereed (ISI-indexed) journals log an average of 19 citations per paper and four of these have more than 100 citations.
Home / Awards & medals / Union Service Award / 2007 / Jan Seibert
The idea was to raise the profile of poster presentations, help increase the general interest in the poster sessions, enhance their visibility, further improve the overall quality of the poster presentations and, most importantly, foster the excitement of young colleagues in the field. The response of the EGU community to the award scheme introduced by Jan has been superb.
