Jörn Behrens

Professor Jörn Behrens is affiliated with the University of Hamburg at the Climate Campus. He holds the position of Professor and is actively engaged in research related to atmospheric and geophysical modeling.

Professor Behrens' research focuses on atmospheric modeling, numerical methods, and geophysical fluid dynamics. His work integrates high-performance computing with advanced mathematical approaches to address complex problems in climate science and natural disaster prediction. He specializes in multiscale modeling techniques that bridge different spatial and temporal scales in atmospheric and geophysical phenomena.

Professor Behrens has secured significant research funding through the German Research Foundation (DFG), including:

• Research grants for "Adaptive modeling of dynamic atmospheric processes on high-performance computers"
• Priority programs funding for "Interaction of small and large dynamic scales in an adaptive numerical model for atmospheric moist convection"
• Transregio funding as sub-project manager for "Systematic multiscale modeling and analysis for geophysical currents"
• Priority programs funding as co-responsible for "KYMA - A multiscale, self-consistent framework for tsunami and earthquake modeling of the Kefalonia Fault System"

His work bridges theoretical mathematics with practical applications in climate science and disaster prediction, contributing to both fundamental understanding and real-world solutions for environmental challenges.
