Biography

Johanna Baehr is a Professor and the Head of Climate Modeling at the Institute of Oceanography at the University of Hamburg. Her research focuses on large-scale ocean circulation and the role of the ocean in the climate system. She employs numerical models to study the timescales of variability in oceanic quantities, concentrating on the prediction of ocean circulation on seasonal and decadal timescales. Baehr has worked on model-based design studies for observing systems that facilitate the detection of changes in ocean circulation, particularly in the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation. She received her doctorate in natural sciences from the University of Hamburg in 2006. Before her current position, she served as a Junior Professor of Climate Data Assimilation at the University of Hamburg and worked as a post-doctoral associate at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Her academic journey has been shaped by significant experiences at renowned institutions, including the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology and the Southampton Oceanography Centre.
