Theresia Yazbeck

Dr. Theresia Yazbeck is a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Max Planck Institute for Biogeochemistry, specializing in the Biogeochemical Signals (BSI) department. Her work focuses on integrating high-resolution atmospheric boundary layer modeling with inverse modeling techniques to study land-atmosphere exchange processes, particularly in Arctic Tundra ecosystems. She completed her PhD in Environmental Engineering at Ohio State University in 2024, preceded by a Master's degree in Civil Engineering under a Fulbright exchange program and a Bachelor's degree at the American University of Beirut.

Education:

• PhD in Civil Engineering (Environmental Specialization), Ohio State University (2019–2024)
• MS in Civil Engineering, Fulbright Exchange Program, Ohio State University (2017–2019)
• BE in Civil Engineering, American University of Beirut (2013–2017)

Her research explores how heterogeneous land cover types in Arctic Tundra ecosystems influence net surface-atmosphere exchange processes. This work combines advanced modeling approaches with field studies to address climate-relevant carbon and energy fluxes.
