Senior🎓
Top SchoolBenjamin Stocker is an associate professor and climate scientist based in Bern with 11 years of research experience modeling land–atmosphere interactions and biogeochemical cycles. He develops numerical models—“as simple as possible and as complex as necessary”—to generate data-informed predictions of ecosystem responses to climate change, rising CO2, drought and nutrient shifts. His work spans academia across ETH Zürich, Stanford and Imperial College, blending process-based model development with machine-learning methods to detect drought impacts on ecosystem functioning. Benjamin combines rigorous PhD-trained climate science with hands-on programming and code management to produce reproducible, policy-relevant insights that inform long-term planning for sustainable land management.
