Julian Haas

Julian Haas is a research scientist and project manager at the GFZ Helmholtz Centre for Geosciences in Potsdam, Germany, working on translating top-level Earth system science into operational applications that deliver tangible benefits to society. His core activities revolve around a) satellite gravimetry and its use in monitoring terrestrial water storage, groundwater dynamics and droughts, and b) flood impact modelling, with an emphasis on market-ready product development. He managed the Horizon 20202 project Global Gravity-based Groundwater Product (G3P), supporting both scientific product development and strategic product stewardship, including the G3P surface water component. He currently heads a spin-off project for the commercialization of the flood impact model RIM2D, providing software maintenance, application support, and hydrological consulting beyond the scientific community. Trained as a Hydrologist, he earned his PhD in Soil Ecology at the University of Freiburg in 2018.
