Biography
Sven Kolbe completed his studies on wildlife management from 2011 to 2016 at the University Van Hall Larenstein, Netherlands (Bachelor of Science). From 2016 to 2019 he studied Environmental Science with the elective track environmental modelling and GIS at the University of Freiburg (Master of Science). In 2019 he started his doctoral research at the Chair of Environmental Meteorology at the University of Freiburg.
Research
As part of his master thesis he investigated the wind-induced tree response, which is relevant for storm damage on trees and forests. His doctoral research focuses on the interactions between air pressure variations and soil gas transport.
