Nimo Kwarkye

I am a geoscientist specializing in numerical modelling, nearing completion of my PhD in Hydrogeology.
I earned a BSc in Meteorology and Climate Science at Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (2017) in Ghana. After my BSc, I had the opportunity to join the Erasmus Mundus joint MSc in Groundwater and Global Change Impacts and Adaptations (2019). I completed my MSc thesis at TU Dresden, where I used models to simulate groundwater and surface water exchange fluxes and interactions. I started a PhD in Hydrogeology after my MSc at Friedrich-Schiller University in Jena. There, I developed custom transport models in C++ to simulate the fate and transport of solutes in the subsurface.
At the LEMG group I primarily work with the LPJ-GUESS model. I research CO₂ exchange fluxes between the atmosphere and ecosystems caused by land use change and am especially focused on quantifying and reducing uncertainty in CO₂ model estimates.
