معرفی
Dr. Martin Hirschi is a Lecturer at the Department of Environmental Systems Science (D-USYS) at ETH Zurich, Switzerland, and holds a position in the Land-Climate Dynamics group at the Institute for Atmospheric and Climate Science (IAC). He has been affiliated with ETH Zurich since 2003, holding roles including Scientific Programmer/Data Manager and Postdoc. His research focuses on water cycle processes, climate change impacts, and soil moisture dynamics, with contributions to projects like ESA CCI Soil Moisture and the SwissSMEX soil moisture network. He leads courses on climatological field work and meteorological measurement techniques.
Education: Diploma in Environmental Sciences (ETH Zurich, 2002), Postgraduate Course in Applied Statistics (2009), and extensive postdoctoral training. Key projects include analyzing drought properties in the Mediterranean under climate change, developing gap-filled soil moisture datasets, and investigating climate extremes using satellite and reanalysis data.
His research integrates remote sensing, field measurements, and climate models to address hydrological and climate questions. Notable contributions include studies on soil moisture-induced feedbacks in land carbon sinks and detecting anthropogenic fingerprints in extreme drought events. Collaborations span institutions like MeteoSwiss and the Swiss Federal Office for Meteorology.
Labs/Teams: Active in the Land-Climate Dynamics group under Prof. Sonia Seneviratne, managing data for projects like Rietholzbach catchment studies and ESA CCI SM. His work supports climate adaptation strategies and improved understanding of land-atmosphere interactions.
