Dagmar Schröter researches global change and ecosystem services in the Risk & Vulnerability programme at the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis, in Laxenburg, Austria. From 2007 – 2009 she was a science advisor at the Department of Environmental Impact Assessment and Climate Change of the Federal Environment Agency in Vienna, Austria. From 2005 – 2008 she was a research fellow at Clark University’s George Perkins Marsh Institute (Worcester, Massachusetts), and from 2004 – 2005 she was a visiting research fellow at Harvard University in the Science, Environment, and Development Group at the Center for International Development (Cambridge, Massachusetts).

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 North Rhine-Westfalia Technical University (Aachen, Germany). Her research interests are ecosystem services, global change vulnerability assessment, ecological food web modelling and the carbon and nitrogen cycles. Motivating her research is the desire to see environmental sciences become a useful component in mindful management of human-environment systems.
