Ottfried Dietrich

Ottfried Dietrich is a Researcher at the Leibniz Centre for Agricultural Landscape Research (ZALF) in Müncheberg, Germany, working within Research Area 2 "Land Use and Governance" and the Lowland Hydrology and Water Management Working Group.

His research focuses on hydrological processes in agricultural landscapes with emphasis on:

• Water balance modeling and management of wetlands
• Evapotranspiration measurement at shallow groundwater sites using eddy-covariance and lysimeter techniques
• Climate change adaptation strategies for wetland water management
• Model-based analysis of tropical river basins in Eastern Africa (Tanzania)

His work integrates experimental hydrology with climate adaptation planning, addressing critical water resource challenges in both temperate and tropical agricultural systems under environmental change.
