Karina Winkler
Karina Winkler is a postdoctoral researcher in the Land Use Change & Climate Research Group. Her studies in Giessen (BSc) and Tübingen (MSc), Germany, first work experience at the German Aerospace Center (DLR) and her PhD at Wageningen University, the Netherlands, shaped her background in geography with a focus on geoinformatics/remote sensing.
Karina's research focusses on modelling global land use change at high resolution, linking land use change patterns to management dynamics and their implications for climate change. Her scientific interest include land cover/land use change (esp. agriculture and forests), remote sensing and geospatial data analysis with open source tools.
