Malte Hinsch

Malte Hinsch, M.Sc., is a doctoral candidate at the Institute of Earth System Sciences within the Faculty of Natural Sciences at Leibniz University Hannover. His work focuses on GIS-based modeling of pollination performance and habitat suitability for pollinators.

Education:

• M.Sc. in Landscape Sciences, Leibniz University Hannover
• B.Sc. in Geosciences, Leibniz University Hannover

Research Interests: Malte specializes in spatial modeling of ecosystem services, particularly pollination dynamics in urban and rural landscapes. His work integrates environmental data and GIS to inform sustainable land management practices.

Publications: His research includes methodological studies on ecosystem condition assessments, model uncertainty in pollinator habitat mapping, and applications of geospatial tools like InVEST and ESTIMAP.

Projects: He contributes to the project "Area-wide Modelling of Pollination Performance in Lower Saxony for Sustainable and Regional Landscape Management" as a research staff member.

Professional Background: Prior to his PhD, he worked as a research associate and student assistant at the Institute of Physical Geography and Landscape Ecology, and completed internships at BUND Lower Saxony and Hüttenes-Albertus Hannover.
