Maren Kaluza

Maren Kaluza is a PhD researcher at the Department of Computational Hydrosystems (CHS) within the Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research - UFZ in Leipzig, Germany. They work on advancing computational methods for hydrological modeling and environmental risk assessment.

• Education:
  • Diplom in Physics (2012) and Master of Mathematics (2017), both from Christian Albrecht University (CAU) Kiel.
  • PhD research since 2018 at UFZ.
• Research Interests:
  • Earth System Modelling
  • Parallelization of hydrologic models
  • Forecasting hydrologic extremes (e.g., floods, droughts)
  • Calibration methods using neutron emissions and water height data
  • Data assimilation techniques for improved environmental predictions
• Collaborations:
  • Part of the CHS team led by Prof. Sabine Attinger and Prof. Luis Samaniego.
  • Contributed to projects like 4DHydro (ESA-funded) and MW³ (standardized forest growth monitoring).
• Publications:
  • Co-authored works on hyperresolution drought simulations, compound climate events, and virtual forest modeling (not explicitly listed here due to text block limitations).
