Specialties of Ulrich Strasser:
Ulrich Strasser has a strong research focus and experience in hydrological modelling in Alpine catchments and profound knowledge in the development of numerical models. He and his group are specialists for the simulation of hydro-climatological processes with focus on modelling snow conditions in mountain regions and the mass and energy fluxes in the boundary layer between the land surface and the atmosphere. As human-environment systems scientist, he strives for an improved understanding of the processes and interactions of agents, as well as of the effects of the given framing conditions. Thereby his research is often guided by inter- and transdisciplinary paradigms and project settings like, e.g., mutual learning alliances. The overall aim is to integrate the various natural and social scientific perspectives and methods for an improved understanding of the immanent functions of the system components, as well as a holistic view onto the emergent behaviour of the entire water system.
