Susanne Crewell

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Susanne Crewell (born January 1, 1964 ) is a German meteorologist , university professor and recipient of the Alfred Wegener Medal . Since 2006 she has been Professor of Meteorology at the Institute for Geophysics and Meteorology at the University of Cologne .

Career

Crewell studied at the Institute for Oceanography in Kiel , where she graduated in meteorology in 1990. At the Institute for Environmental Physics in Bremen she did her doctorate in 1993 with a thesis on radiometry and worked there as a postdoc until the following year . She then carried out research on Antarctic ozone depletion at the State University of New York and Stony Brook until 1996 . After her return to Germany, she turned to the atmospheric water cycle and the development of a ground-based remote sensing platform as an assistant at the Meteorological Institute of the University of Bonn . With a thesis on this subject, she completed her habilitation in 2002 in Bonn.

In February 2004 she moved to the University of Munich as professor for experimental meteorology , where she headed the working group for radiation and remote sensing at the Meteorological Institute. In 2006 she took up her professorship for meteorology at the University of Cologne.

Since completing her doctorate, Crewell has been researching in numerous projects on the Arctic, for example with the help of various measurement campaigns, which role clouds can play in arctic warming . In the DFG Collaborative Research Center Transregio 172 “Arctic Reinforcement” , which has been running since 2016 , she is working on understanding the above-average warming in the north polar region.

She was awarded the Alfred Wegener Medal in 2019 for her “outstanding theoretical and experimental work on remote sensing of the atmospheric boundary layer and the cloudy atmosphere, which created important foundations for their use in weather forecasting”.
