Dagmar obtained her PhD in ecosystems' research in 2001 at Gießen University, Department of Animal Ecology, Germany, combining field research and numerical modelling. Prior to this she studied biology at the Technical University, Aachen, Germany. Her research interests are human-environment interactions, global change vulnerability assessment, ecological food web modelling and the carbon and nitrogen cycle. Her ultimate research goal is to make environmental sciences useful in interdisciplinary dialogues on sustainable management of the human-environment system.
