The research group Environmetrics, led by JProf. Dr. Nils Weitzel, develops statistical methods for climate and environmental sciences. Studying the chaotic and high dimensional climate system requires dedicated and robust statistical approaches. To this purpose, we collaborate with experts coming from a variety of disciplines, including meteorology, geosciences, and physics. Current research topics are the spatio-temporal structure of climate variability, climate field reconstructions from natural archives like sediment and ice cores with Bayesian hierarchical models, and new methods to incorporate constraints from past climate into future projections of the Earth system.

Thesis Projects: Please contact us if you are interested to write your Bachelor or Master thesis in our group. Please include a short description of the topics your are interested, a transcript, and a brief CV.
