Wolfgang Seiler

Edit links
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Wolfgang Seiler (born 22 January 1940 in Remscheid) is a German biogeochemist and climatologist. Seiler was Director of the Institute of Meteorology and Atmospheric Environmental Research (IMK-IFU) of the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, and is a pioneer in basic research in biogeochemistry.

Development

[edit]

Seiler studied meteorology from 1961 to 1969 at the University of Mainz and graduated with a diploma. In 1970 he received his doctorate in meteorology (Dr. rer. nat.). Ten years later he completed his Habilitation at the ETH Zurich in atmospheric chemistry. From 1980 to 1982 he was lecturer at the ETH Zurich. From 1980 to 1989 he was a visiting professor at the Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, USA, and from 1989 to 1990 a Research Professor of Environmental Sciences at the University of Virginia, Charlottesville, USA.

Research

[edit]

Seiler worked as a research assistant at the Institute of Meteorology, University of Mainz (1967-1969) and was head of the research group "trace gases" at the Max Planck Institute for Chemistry (MPI), Mainz (1969-1986). In 1978 he was a researcher at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), in Boulder, Colorado, where he collaborated with Paul J. Crutzen and Ralph J. Cicerone.[1] In 2001 Seiler was a Highly Cited Researcher (one of world's leading researchers) in the category Geosciences and Ecology/Environment.[2]

From 1986 to 2001, Seiler was the Director of the Fraunhofer Institute for Atmospheric Environmental Research,[3] and from 2001 to September 2007 the Director of Institute of Meteorology and Atmospheric Environmental Research (IMK-IFU) of the Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe (now Karlsruhe Institute of Technology).[4] After he retired, Professor Seiler became an environmental officer[5] (voluntary) of the City of Garmisch-Partenkirchen. Together with Ralf Klemens Stappen he served project leader of the pilot project Sustainable Garmisch-Partenkirchen[6] (Munich 2018, Bid for the 2018 Winter Olympics) and Executive of the Energiewende Oberland.[7]
