报告人介绍

Dr. Thorsten Wagener is the Alexander von Humboldt Professor for the Analysis of Hydrologic Systems at the University of Potsdam in Germany. He studies hydrologic systems from catchment to global scales using both empirical and process-based models. He has made significant contributions to topics including catchment classification, predictions in ungauged basins, and the evaluation of Earth system models. His methods and tools for quantifying and attributing uncertainty in environmental modelling are internationally used (https://safetoolbox.github.io/). He previously was a faculty member at University of Bristol (UK) and the Pennsylvania State University (USA). He holds a doctorate from Imperial College London (UK). Prof. Wagener is a fellow of the American Geophysical Union, and has been given various awards including a Royal Society Wolfson Research Merit Award, a Walter L. Huber Engineering Research Prize of the American Society of Civil Engineers, and a President’s International Fellowship for Distinguished Scientists from the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
