Overview

Andreas Lorke is affiliated with the University of Koblenz and Landau in Germany. Their research primarily spans the fields of Environmental Science and Earth and Planetary Sciences, with a focus on subfields such as Oceanography, Environmental Chemistry, Ecology, Global and Planetary Change, and Water Science and Technology.

Their work addresses key topics including Marine and coastal ecosystems, Atmospheric and Environmental Gas Dynamics, Hydrology and Sediment Transport Processes, Hydrology and Watershed Management Studies, Aquatic Ecosystems and Phytoplankton Dynamics, Fish Ecology and Management Studies, and Oceanographic and Atmospheric Processes.

Recent papers by Andreas Lorke reflect these research interests. Notable publications include:

  • Sediment Properties Drive Spatial Variability of Potential Methane Production and Oxidation in Small Streams (2020), Journal of Geophysical Research Biogeosciences
  • Drivers of spatial and seasonal variations of CO2 and CH4 fluxes at the sediment water interface in a shallow eutrophic lake (2022), Water Research
  • Spatial and temporal variability of methane emissions from cascading reservoirs in the Upper Mekong River (2020), Water Research
  • Multimodel simulation of vertical gas transfer in a temperate lake (2020), Hydrology and Earth System Sciences
  • Hydrodynamics and mixing mechanisms in a subtropical reservoir (2021), Inland Waters

Lorke frequently publishes in venues such as Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research), Water Research, The Science of The Total Environment, Limnology and Oceanography, and PLoS ONE.

Collaborations are a significant part of their research output, with frequent co-authors including Tobias Bleninger, Mayra Ishikawa, Sofya Guseva, Lediane Marcon, and Zhengjian Yang.
