Schauberger

I am a Professor for "Agricultural Systems and Climate Change" at the University of Applied Sciences Weihenstephan-Triesdorf in Freising, Germany, and senior scientist in the working group Adaptation in Agricultural Systems. My research interests are centered around near-term yield forecasting, impacts of extreme events on agriculture and food availability, the analysis of long-term yield data with machine learning and policy advice on adaptation.
