from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Julia Pongratz (* 1980 ) is a German climate researcher and professor of geography and land use systems at the Ludwig Maximilians University in Munich and also conducts research at the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology .

Life

Between 2000 and 2005, Pongratz completed a diploma course in physical geography at the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München , interrupted by a year of study abroad in 2003/2004 at the University of Maryland . She received her doctorate in geosciences from the University of Hamburg in 2009 with her doctoral thesis carried out at the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology . She then worked as a research scientist at the Department of Global Ecology at the Carnegie Institution for Science , Stanford. In 2012 she returned to the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology on a fellowship, where she founded an Emmy Noether group on forestry in the Earth system a little later, funded by the German Research Foundation . In 2018 she took over the chair for physical geography and land use systems at LMU Munich .

Act

In her work, Pongratz deals with the mutual influence of people , vegetation and climate . One focus is on the influence of land use changes on the climate, especially changes in water, energy and carbon flows. Pongratz examines both how pre-industrial land use influenced the climate and how strong the effects of current land use are, as well as measures such as afforestation , which are used to counteract future climate change . She is involved in reports of the IPCC and is a member of the steering committees of the Future Earth projects Global Carbon Project and AIMES (Analysis, Integration and Modeling of the Earth System).

Honors

During his studies, Pongratz received scholarships from the German National Academic Foundation and the German-American Fulbright program . Her doctoral thesis was awarded the Otto Hahn Medal of the Max Planck Society and the Wladimir Peter Köppen Prize of the University of Hamburg . 2012–2014 she was a fellow of the Fast Track Program of the Robert Bosch Stiftung . From 2014 to 2018 she was a member of the Junge Akademie , which is supported by the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy and the Leopoldina.
