+<p> <br> Karin Frank heads the Department for Ecological Modeling (<a href="https://www.ufz.de/index.php?en=34213">OESA</a>) at the Helmholtz-Centre for Environmental Research – UFZ in Leipzig (Germany) and holds a joint Professorship with the Institute for Environmental Systems Research at the University of Osnabrück (Germany). Her research centers on modeling the structure, dynamics, functions and stability properties of ecological, eco-hydrological and social-ecological systems under the influence of global change (esp. climate, land use and institutional change). At the Helmholtz-Centre, her department focuses on terrestrial environmental modeling, earth observation and data science, along with the development and application of concepts, methodologies, tools and workflows in these fields. The aims of this research spans analysis of terrestrial environmental systems and the development of sustainable solutions for real-world problems in landscapes under transition. OESA has contributed substantially to the development of community standards for the description of social-environmental models, the use of models for effectively influencing decision-making in real-world contexts, and the operationalization of social theories of human behavior in models for social-ecological systems. </p>
