About

Hey, my name is Florian and I am a PhD student at the Institute for Baltic Sea Research. During my PhD I will focus on the long-term variability in the Baltic Sea. This helps to understand changes of the Baltic Sea ecosystem. While I will likely focus on the Baltic Sea I hope that I can apply my findings to other coastal oceans, too. Semi-enclosed seas like the Baltic Sea respond very sensitive and fast to atmospheric changes e.g. global warming. This helps to predict changes to other coastal oceans.

Interests

• climate variability and climate sensitivity of the Baltic Sea
• coupled physical-biogeochemical modeling to study the marine ecosystem in past climates
• sea ice modeling
• ice-ocean model inter-comparison
• paleoclimate studies of the Baltic Sea
• longterm trends in the Baltic Sea

Methods

• Data handling
• Multi regression analysis for data prediction
• Wavelet analysis
• Network analysis
• Cluster analysis
• EOF
