Within the scope of the Thematic Project, simulations of deforestation and degradation of the Amazon will be carried out with global numerical models for 50-year scenarios. In addition to the global model, regional models will be employed to assess how land use change impacts the carbon and water cycle. The simulations will generate extensive temporal series of georeferenced data that will be analyzed with machine learning techniques and conventional analysis. The preparation of the climate model rounds, as well as the analysis and combination with observational data, will be the main tasks of this postdoc. Internships are planned in Germany and China.
