Professor Stefan Siebert is Head of the Department of Crop Sciences at the Agricultural Faculty of the University of Göttingen, a position he has held since October 2017. His academic career spans multiple prestigious institutions including the University of Bonn, University of Frankfurt, and University of Kassel, where he completed his doctoral studies.
- University of Göttingen (2017-present): Professor and Head of Crop Science/Agronomy
- University of Bonn (2016-2017): Temporary Head of Chair Crop Science
- University of Bonn (2009-2015): Habilitation in Crop Science and Resource Conservation
- University of Frankfurt (2004-2009): Postdoctoral Scientist
- University of Kassel (2002-2005): Ph.D. Student and Scientist
Professor Siebert's research focuses on sustainable resource use in crop production, climate change impacts on plant growth, plant growth modeling, and drought risk assessment. His work integrates large-scale data analysis with modeling approaches to understand the complex interactions between resource use, crop management, and productivity. He has developed comprehensive datasets on water, soil, and nutrient use in agriculture and pioneered methods for analyzing irrigation systems globally.
His recent publication trends reveal a strong emphasis on irrigation systems, climate change impacts on agriculture, and advanced crop modeling techniques. The analysis of his 15 most recent articles shows consistent focus on water resource management, spatial analysis of agricultural systems, and the effects of climate variability on crop production. His work frequently combines remote sensing data with ground-based measurements to create high-resolution datasets for agricultural decision-making.
Professor Siebert leads several significant research projects including ZERN (Future of Nutrition in Lower Saxony, 2024-2029), Collaborative Research Center 1502 on Regional Climate Change (2022-2025), and OUTLAST (Development of a global drought hazard forecasting system, 2022-2025). He has been continuously developing and maintaining a global dataset on irrigated areas since 1997, establishing himself as a leading authority in agricultural water management.
His teaching portfolio is extensive, covering scientific writing, field production exercises, general crop production, methodical work, plant biology, crop production and breeding, sustainability of production systems, and applications of data analysis to agronomy. Professor Siebert's work bridges theoretical research with practical applications in sustainable agriculture, making significant contributions to our understanding of how to maintain food security in the face of climate change.
