Initially, a forward heat transfer model is implemented that predicts borehole temperature profiles for a given time dependent surface temperature. This model is inverted to reconstruct the surface temperature of the past from borehole temperature measurements. Existing inversion methods for boreholes are highly model-dependent. This project aims to improve borehole inversion methods as well as the climate field reconstruction technique by optimally combining various information sources, like water isotope data from ice cores, with the spatial covariance structure from simplified climate models or reanalysis data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Further details of my team and project are available in:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.awi.de\/en\/science\/geosciences\/polar-terrestrial-environmental-systems\/research-foci\/earth-system-diagnostics\/team.html\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.awi.de\/en\/science\/geosciences\/polar-terrestrial-environmental-systems\/research-foci\/earth-system-diagnostics\/team.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Earth System Diagnostics, Alfred-Wegener-Institut, Helmholtz Centre for Polar and Marine Research<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mardata.de\/research\/mardata-2nd-cohort-2021-2024\/digital-ice-cores-paleo-climate-reconstruction-using-bayesian-modeling\/\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mardata.de\/members\/cohort-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">MARDATA, 2nd-cohort<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hpc.uni-wuppertal.de\/de\/personen\/detail\/shaju-1\/\">Uni-Wuppertal<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PhD candidate at Bergische Universit\u00e4t Wuppertal and in the Helmholtz School for Marine Data Science (MarDATA) Research associate at Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research Bergische Universit\u00e4t WuppertalGau\u00dfstra\u00dfe 2042119 Wuppertal, Germany Tel: (tba)Email: kshema.shaju[at]awi.de \/ shaju[at]uni-wuppertal.deOffice: L 13.30orcid<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_import_markdown_pro_load_document_selector":0,"_import_markdown_pro_submit_text_textarea":"","_mc_calendar":[],"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1238","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.peter-zaspel.de\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1238","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.peter-zaspel.de\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.peter-zaspel.de\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.peter-zaspel.de\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.peter-zaspel.de\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1238"}],"version-history":[{"count":13,"href":"https:\/\/www.peter-zaspel.de\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1238\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1681,"href":"https:\/\/www.peter-zaspel.de\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1238\/revisions\/1681"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.peter-zaspel.de\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1238"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
