Wolfgang Buermann
Wolfgang Buermann is a German geographer and climate researcher . He is particularly concerned with the effects of climate change on flora, the carbon cycle and biodiversity.
Life
In 1997 Buermann graduated from the University of Connecticut with a Master of Science in Physics. He then received his PhD from 1998 to 2002 at the Department of Earth & Environment at Boston University . He then worked at the University of California, Berkeley until 2005 . From 2005 to 2012 Buermann was Adjunct Assistant Professor at the Institute of the Environment and Sustainability, Department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences at the University of California, Los Angeles . He then researched and taught as Associate Professor of Land Surface / Vegetation Modeling at the School of Earth and Environment at the University of Leeds . Since October 2018 he has held the chair for physical geography with a focus on climate research at the University of Augsburg .
Act
Buermann researches climate change and the resulting effects on ecosystems and biodiversity . In his research he uses satellite data, biosphere and climate models. With his work Buermann was able to make a significant contribution to the understanding of the plant world under the conditions of climate change. By evaluating thirty-year satellite data, he was able to show that the effects of climate change are becoming much more dramatic than previous calculations suggested; global warming therefore has a much more serious effect on plant growth than previously assumed.
