SUFONAMA academic staff at University of Göttingen

 Professor Alexander Knohl

My name is Alexander Knohl and I am the Professor of Bioclimatology at the Faculty of Forest Sciences and Forest Ecology, Georg‑August-Universität Göttingen, Germany. Together with Moritz Jehle we are the contact persons for the SUFONAMA programme (www.sufonama.eu) at Göttingen University. (http://www.uni-goettingen.de

 

I teach courses related to climatology and forest ecosystem functioning. In SUFONAMA I teach the module Bioclimatology and Global Change. My research areas focus on the interaction of forest ecosystems and atmosphere. Specifically, I aim to understand the ecophysiology and biogeochemical cycles of terrestrial ecosystems and to investigate how they respond to a changing environment and to land-use management using field and laboratory measurements and models.

 Dr. Reiner Finkeldey 

My name is Reiner Finkeldey. I am Professor for Forest Genetics and Forest Tree Breeding at the Faculty of Forest Sciences and Forest Ecology, Georg‑August-Universität Göttingen, Germany (http://www.uni-goettingen.de).   I teach courses in various fields related to forest genetics including tree improvement. For our SUFONAMA students I am involved in teaching the module ‘Forestry in Germany’; I also offer a postgraduate course on tropical forest genetics.

My research areas are (i) adaptation mechanisms and tree improvement at the molecular level, (ii) links between genetic diversity, biodiversity at higher levels, and ecosystem processes and services, and (iii) genetic variation of tropical forest trees.
