Dr Martin Widmann is a climate scientist. His current main research area is regional climate change, in particular the development and validation of statistical downscaling methods. He also studies past climates; the main activity in this field is the development of data assimilation methods to combine climate simulations with empirical knowledge from proxy data.

Postgraduate supervision

Martin Widmann is involved in the following funded research projects:

Transient GCM Simulations of the Mid-Holocene Climate and Comparison with Palaeoclimate Proxy Data (DEKLIM)
Southern Hemisphere Atmospheric Circulation (DEKLIM/Helmholtz Society)
Correction of Precipitation Simulated by General Circulation Models Using Model Output Statistics
Data Assimilation for Palaeoclimatic Applications (DEKLIM/Helmholtz Society)
Stability of Teleconnections and of Scale Relationships (DEKLIM)
Regional Climate Modelling for the European Alps (EU)

Dr Widmann welcomes enquiries from prospective doctoral researchers in his areas of interest.
