Dr. Christian Klassert

Christian Klassert ist der Ko-Sprecher der Arbeitsgruppe sozialwissenschaftliche Wasserforschung. Seine Arbeit verbindet gekoppelte Modellierung von Mensch-Natur-Systemen, agentenbasierte Modellierung und Ökonometrie, um die Auswirkungen von ungleichem Wasserzugang in Städten und landwirtschaftlichen Dürreperioden zu bewerten. Er wirkt an der Entwicklung von Modellen mit, die die Wassersicherheit in Jordanien (Jordan Water Project), die Nachhaltigkeit des Nexus Nahrung-Wasser-Energie im indischen Oberen Bhima-Becken (FUSE Project), und landwirtschaftliche Dürreanpassung in Deutschland simulieren (UFZ Graduiertenschulen AGRI-TRANSFORM und Thirsty Cities). Seine Ergebnisse wurden unter anderem in Nature Sustainability, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) und Earth's Future veröffentlicht. Er wirkt als Reviewer für verschiedene Fachzeitschriften, darunter Nature Water, One Earth und Water Resources and Economics und als Ko-Vorsitzender der Arbeitsgruppe Human Systems Modeling der MultiSector Dynamics (MSD) Community of Practice. Gemeinsam mit Kollegen wurde ihm der UFZ Forschungspreis 2022 für seine transdisziplinäre Arbeit zur Bewertung der Risiken künftiger Wasserkrisen im Land Jordanien verliehen.
