Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Martin H. Trauth studied geophysics and geology at the University of Karlsruhe. He obtained a doctoral degree from the University of Kiel in 1995 and subsequently became a permanent member of the scientific staff at the University of Potsdam. Following his habilitation in 2003, he became a lecturer, and in 2011, he was granted a titular professorship at the University of Potsdam. Since 1990, Martin H. Trauth has worked on various aspects of past changes in the climates of eastern Africa and South America. His projects have aimed to provide a better understanding of (1) the role that the tropics play in terminating ice ages, (2) the relationship between climatic changes and human evolution, and (3) the influence that climate anomalies have had on mass movements in the central Andes. Each of these projects has involved numerical and statistical methods (e.g., time series analysis and signal processing) with paleoclimate time series, lake balance modeling, stochastic modeling of bioturbation, age-depth modeling of sedimentary sequences, or satellite- and microscopic image processing. Martin H. Trauth has taught a variety of courses on data analysis in the earth sciences for more than 25 years both at the University of Potsdam and at other universities around the world.
