Gaël Kermarrec

Dr. Gaël Kermarrec is a researcher at the Boundary Layer Meteorology Group, part of the Institute of Meteorology and Climatology within the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics at Leibniz University Hannover. His work focuses on atmospheric turbulence, GNSS applications, and remote sensing for environmental monitoring.

• Boundary layer meteorology
• Turbulence theory
• GNSS signal processing
• Terrestrial laser scanning
• Climate change impacts
• Geodetic time series analysis

His research integrates advanced mathematical models like LR B-splines and Matérn covariance with large eddy simulations to study:

• Atmospheric turbulence effects on optical/GNSS signals
• Hydrospheric mass loading
• Deformation analysis of terrain/port infrastructure
• Climatic sea-level changes
• Machine learning for remote sensing

The 15 most recent articles (2025-2023) demonstrate his focus on:

• GNSS-based turbulence detection
• AI-enhanced climate mapping
• Advanced surface approximation techniques
• Multi-sensor data fusion
• Stochastic modeling of geodetic observations
• Environmental impacts on optical measurements

He has developed tools like the Klimascanner QGIS plugin for urban climate resilience and contributes to:

• Understanding atmospheric scale lengths
• Improving TLS/GNSS deformation monitoring
• Analyzing hydrospheric changes
