Daniel Scholz

Dr. Daniel Scholz is a Researcher in Phytoplankton Ecophysiology at the Alfred Wegener Institute (AWI) in Bremerhaven, Germany. His role focuses on developing, calibrating, deploying, and evaluating marine in-situ sensors to advance Arctic marine monitoring. He is actively involved in the FRAM (FRontiers in Arctic marine Monitoring) initiative, contributing to long-term observational frameworks in polar environments.

His expertise lies at the intersection of technological innovation and ecological research, particularly in sensor-based data collection for marine ecosystems. Scholz collaborates within the Marine Biogeosciences department under the Biosciences faculty at AWI, addressing challenges in polar and marine research through interdisciplinary approaches.

Affiliated with the AWI's core research infrastructure, his work supports Arctic Ocean studies and contributes to projects like the MOSAiC expedition. Current efforts emphasize sensor optimization for extreme environments and data integration into climate models.
