Hans Burchard is a Professor at the University of Rostock and Deputy Head of the Department of Physical Oceanography and Instrumentation at the Leibniz Institute for Baltic Sea Research . His research focuses on estuarine and coastal oceanography , with expertise in turbulence closure modeling (GOTM), three-dimensional numerical model development (GETM), and sediment dynamics . He leads projects examining anthropogenic impacts on coastal systems , long-term variability , and climate-driven mixing processes . Key projects include Skamix-WMT , CoastalFutures-2 , and GROCE-II , addressing issues like salinity intrusion , ice-ocean interactions , and ocean turbulence . Recent publications highlight diahaline mixing in marginal seas, storm-driven submesoscale processes , and numerical methods for ocean dynamics . Hans actively supervises PhD and Master’s students in topics related to ocean modeling , estuarine circulation , and sediment transport . He contributes to international collaborations through initiatives like the Virtual European Physical Oceanography and Shelf Sea Seminar Series (VEPOSSSS) and Gordon Research Conference on Coastal Ocean Dynamics (GRC) .
