Sina Jasmin Schreiber has joined GERICS in Dezember 2023, initially as an intern and now as a research associate. She is working in the Helmholtz Young Investigator Group “Uncertain Water Resources under Global Change“ (UwaRes). Within her own sub-project, Sina investigates the impacts of increased agricultural irrigation on the availability of water in rivers and groundwater reservoirs during hot and dry summers, which are expected to become significantly more frequent due to climate change. Another of Sina’s tasks is the validation of the model CCWatM, which is a coupling of the hydrological model CWatM with the regional climate model REMO and has been recently developed by the research group.
Sina completed her Bachelor's degree in Physics with a minor in Environmental Science at the Technical University of Braunschweig and her Master's degree in Physics with a focus on Environmental Physics at Heidelberg University. During her studies, she gained in-depth knowledge in various fields such as atmospheric physics and dynamics, oceanography, geophysics and climate science. In her Master's thesis she specialized in the field of paleoclimatology. This included, in particular, the analysis of elemental ratios (e.g., Li/Mg, Ba/Ca) in cold-water corals for the reconstruction of past ocean temperatures and nutrient levels, as well as improving the subsequent data analysis using Python.
