Chair of Environmental Hydrological Systems
Welcome to the homepage of the Chair of Environmental Hydrological Systems, Prof. Kerstin Stahl
We teach in the Bachelor programme "Environmental Sciences" and in the "Master of Hydrology" among others and participate in local, national and international science activities.
Our research deals with climate impacts on hydrology and water resources, in particular hydrological extremes and their impacts on environment and society. Projects that are keeping us busy focus on:
- drought hazard and risk under global change (several projects)
- hydrological processes and storages in catchments with
- a focus on (partly glacierized ) mountain headwater regions (e.g. ASG Rhine project)

Chair
| Kerstin Stahl | |
| Hydrologist studying water's links to climate, environment and society: empirically at large scale, regionally with models, preferably long-term and with a special passion for mountain hydrology and downstream impacts of drought. |
Research and teaching staff
| Carolin Winter | |
| Hydrologist with a focus on catchment-scale water quality in the face of global change. I am particularly interested in the effects of changing hydro-meteorological conditions on water quality and in the insights into hydrological and biogeochemical processes that we can gain from high frequency monitoring. |
| Jost Hellwig | |
| Hydrological modeller and data scientist studying groundwater and surface water availability and quality. Research focus is drought and the complex interaction of climate-, catchment- and anthropogenic processes as the main driver of regional differences in drought occurrence. |
| Ben Kraemer | |
| Global change aquatic scientist focusing on the links between climate change and lake ecosystems. Merges disparate data sources and modeling approaches to maximizing the spatial and temporal scope of research. Predominantly global scale research is grounded by regional foci including lakes in Central Europe, Central North America, and East Africa. |
| Robin Schwemmle | |
| Hydrological modeller who studies the local/regional water availability and the contamination of water resources. His research focusses on the combined impact analysis of climate change and agriculture on local/regional water resources. |
| Julian Vahldiek | |
| Hydrological modeller and environmental engineer investigating the availability and quality of groundwater for drinking water supply. Focusses on the stress resilience of groundwater resources with regard to climatic changes and the associated effects on drinking water management. |
PhD students
| Kathrin Szillat | |
|
Hydrologist, interested in hydrological extremes and their impact on the environment and society. Investigates the availability and quality of groundwater and surface water. Focus on assessing the impact of drought and nitrate on groundwater resources and drinking water management. |
