Services of the Taiga-Tundra Ecotone – from the single tree up to community level – from protection of permafrost to carbon allocation Our research methods are Modeling: We simulate the structure and dynamics

climates focusing on the open larch forest ecosystem in Arctic environments which are underlain by permafrost. It is now extended to simulate all representative boreal tree species in the Taiga-Tundra Ecotone

in the region. In August 2016, the town Point Lay in Alaska lost its nearby lake. Due to thawing permafrost soils, the lake had steadily lost stability and ultimately drained entirely into the Kokolik River

the research project PermaSAR and the main focus is on landsurface subsidence or heave caused by permafrost processes such as thawing and freezing. Field campaigns are conducted in collaboration with the

research centre in Potsdam, where he focused on geochemical investigations of Siberia’s rivers, permafrost and Laptev Sea coast. During this time, he led eight German-Russian Siberian expeditions. In 2002
