Stocker Curriculum Vitæ Dr Benjamin David Stocker ORCID 0000-0003-2697-9096 ResearcherID K-3194-2015 [email protected] https://stineb.github.io Updated 25 June 2019 Key achievements • Developed a novel machine learning-based method to quantify soil moisture effects on vegetation productivity (Stocker et al., 2018, New Phytologist) and assessed impacts of soil moisture stress on productivity and its variability across scales (Stocker et al., 2019, Nature Geoscience). • Provided the first consistent quantification of multiple climate feedbacks from the terrestrial biosphere using a coupled Earth System Model (Stocker et al., 2013, Nature Climate Change). • Developed the first dynamic global model to simulate the distribution of peatlands and their effect on the carbon cycle under a changing climate (Stocker et al., 2014, Geosci. Model Dev.). This model was applied for the first transient simulation of global peatland after the Last Glacial Maximum (Stocker et al., 2017, PNAS).
