Oakley Wagner has joined GERICS in July 2024 as a PhD student in the HYDROLINE project, which focuses on the simulation of retrospective and future hydrometeorological extreme events using an integrated modelling approach. His focus in the project is on hydrological response modelling, looking at how drivers of runoff dynamics and hydrological responses change under a warming climate and quantifying runoff mitigation potential. Statistical downscaling algorithms, bias correction methods, computationally efficient approaches for high-resolution dynamic simulation of soil-water and runoff are at the core of his PhD research.
Oakley Wagner holds a B.Sc. in Maritime Technologies from the University of Applied Sciences Bremerhaven and a M.Sc. in Hydro Science and Engineering from TUD Dresden University of Technology. His master’s thesis dealt with the added value of convection-permitting regional climate models for hydrological impact modelling.
