Wechsung

Frank Wechsung is a senior scientist holding the first doctoral degree for Agronomy and Operational Research. He conducts research about climate change and its impacts on crops, hydrology, landscape functions and related human behavior at different scales (site, river basin, country, world) with expertise in experiments, statistical analysis, simulation studies and integrated assessments. He supervises students at different levels (bachelor, master, phD) and acts as principal and contributing investigator on integrated and narrower theme projects.
