Research Interests
I am interested in everything that relates to species and their conservation. Moreover, I am especially interested in aquatic ecosystems, especially rivers and the species therein. In the last years, I worked often with species distribution models and climate niche factor analyses. I used those tools to assess the effects of future climate change on the distribution and protection status of fish species in river ecosystems. Within the NFDI4BioDiversity Project, I am a community coordinator, working in close contact with all kind of organisations ranging from research facilities through federal agencies to natural history societies. Here I am trying to identify their specific needs regarding data storage, visualisation, and, most importantly, exchange to promote research data management as an integral part of biodiversity research. Alongside this, I will test the use of some of the mobilised data for questions about biodiversity change in Germany.
