Earth system models are a central tool for advancing our understanding of the planet. Models allow us to combine process knowledge with numerous observations and serve as a digital laboratory, enabling us to conduct experiments that are not possible in the real world, such as simulating the effects of anthropogenic or climatic changes. Models are powerful tools that directly support policy and decision-making.
In our group, we develop (1) methods to precisely understand increasingly complex models,
(2) to make these complex instruments FAIR (Findability, Accessibility, Interoperability, and Reuse), and (3) to expand our knowledge of the global water cycle, especially in the context of global change. Our vision is to transform the way we create, use, share, and analyze complex Earth system models to 1) achieve a better understanding of large-scale processes and 2) conduct more robust risk assessments and identify pathways to sustainability.
