Global disparities in use of urban green space during COVID-19
Check out our systematic review of the use of urban greenspaces during COVID-19. We identified 178 studies in 5 languages and from 60 countries and show that the world was divided into wealthier cities and regions where use of greenspaces increased, while it decreased in many other parts of the world.

Sustainability transformations
I am an alumni of the Postdoc Academy for Transformational Leadership, financed by Robert-Bosch-Foundation, where we worked on the topic land use practices in a globalized world. Hosted by HU Berlin, Leuphana University Lüneburg, Stockholm Resilience Centre and DRIFT Rotterdam.

Spatial analyses
I am passionate about critical mapping of human-environmental interactions at multiple scales. Applications range from local assessments of infrastructure impacts to global analyses of conservation agendas and forest values. I find it crucial to use, interpret and explain maps and remote sensing products based on their context and use them as tools not as authorities in decision-making processes.

Land System Science
I am interested in how land uses and natural ecosystems are linked, displaced and impacted within and across landscapes globally, depending on infrastructure development, policies, certification schemes and crises (COVID). I use spatial tools and evidence synthesis (systematic review) methodology to assess such changes and provide options for decision-making.

Habitat mapping
My work experience includes field based mapping of biotopes in the framework of the German environmental impact assessment legislation ("UVP", "Eingriffsregelung") and the European "Habitats Directive". I am particularly interested in digital mapping support tools including tablets and drones.

Global learning
I coordinated multiple social and ecological projects in Latin America, Asia and Africa. This work allowed me to develop a critical perspective on global connections, dependencies and development narratives and on our role as the privileged part in this relationship.
I speak German, English, French and Spanish |
