Forschungsschwerpunkte

I have been reconstructing the ocean circulation and the hydrological cycle of the Indo‐Pacific tropics to subtropics from marine sedimentary archives combined with model simulations. The body of my research activities is devoted to the hydroclimate of the Pacific and Indian Ocean realms by studying the long‐term evolution of, and the interaction between, the coupled atmosphere‐ocean climate phenomena inherent to these basins such as the Australasian monsoon systems, the Indian Ocean Dipole, and El Niño‐Southern Oscillation. I make use of various proxies and models to understand past dynamic and thermodynamic changes of the hydrological cycle: ocean circulation and thermal structure of the water column, salinity, terrestrial vegetation, rainfall, and runoff, as well as atmospheric zonal and meridional circulations. A major focus of my research is the interaction between anthropogenic and natural climate forcing within the Australasian monsoon domains. Another focus is investigating the causes and effects of temperature and CO2 rise during the last deglaciation.
