Stefan Becker

Stefan Becker is a Professor of Environmental Science at the School of Theoretical and Applied Science (TAS) at Ramapo College of New Jersey, joining the faculty in 2018. His research focuses on atmospheric processes and climate change impacts, particularly through numerical modeling of extreme weather events and regional flood risks.

• Education: State Examination, Doctorate (Dr. rer. nat.), and Habilitation (Dr. habil.) from Justus-Liebig University, Giessen, Germany

Becker's research spans diverse geographic regions including the Yangtze River Basin, South Africa, Nepal, and the United States. He investigates:

• Numerical modeling of atmospheric dynamics
• Human bioclimatology in hot, arid environments
• Air pollution monitoring and mitigation
• Regional climate change impacts on flood risks
• Extreme weather event patterns
• Upper tropospheric circulation changes

His recent publications (2021-2007) analyze transboundary pollution in the Himalayas, precipitation variability in China, temperature dynamics in Illinois, and hurricane track prediction models. While no formal awards are listed, his work demonstrates interdisciplinary expertise in climatology, hydrology, and environmental science.
