Earth
System Science, i.e. modelling and
environmental systems
analysis, in particular, climate
impact
analysis, man-nature interactions, hazard and vulnerability
assessments. Specific parts of my work are directed to the integration
of the social, economic, and natural sphere in formal concepts. In
this context new and smart
techniques from various disciplines, i.e. qualitative reasoning, neural
networks, viability concepts, fuzzy diagnosis, statistical methods, or
expert systems are
utilized and further developed. Concerning the results of the of the
last UNFCCC climate conference in Copenhagen we are aiming to describe
and develop transition pathways for developed and developing countries
with regard to limits for development and fairness. Examinations of
unbalanced
urbanisation processes, the role of structural and institutional
features with regard of efficiency, and how cities
can be designed more resilient is a further focal point of
our group.
