Dr Karim Zantout

Postdoctoral Researcher
Zantout

I work in the group of Dr Jacob Schewe at Research Department 3 - Transformation Pathways on the interplay of international human migration and Climate Change.
Based on stochastic approaches I investigate new strategies to model this multi-faceted and complex relation and develop migration scenarios for the future. This research is part of the HABITABLE project.
