PYTHONCO₂ MEASUREMENTSBACHELOR'S THESIS

Finding ship exhaust in
CO₂ measurement data.

Impressions from my bachelor's thesis at the Ecological Rhine Station in Cologne.

At the Ecological Rhine Station in Cologne, wind and CO₂ concentration are measured 20 times per second. Ships passing by can distort that signal with their exhaust.

For my bachelor's thesis I built a complete analysis pipeline in Python and developed a detection algorithm. It finds exhaust plumes in the concentration signal. To validate it, I used AIS ship position data.

RESULT

In the campaign I studied, the exhaust influence flips the sign of the mean CO₂ flux: apparent release turns into apparent uptake.

See the result and the analysis

The series covers 51 winter days. After a strict wind direction filter, 19 usable half-hour blocks were left. I removed the segments flagged as exhaust and recalculated the affected fluxes.

WITH SHIP EXHAUST−0.38Apparent CO₂ uptake
WITHOUT FLAGGED SEGMENTS+0.60Apparent CO₂ release

Campaign means in µmol m⁻² s⁻¹. The sample is small, so this says nothing general about the CO₂ balance of the Rhine.

ORGANIZATIONBRAND BUILDINGCUSTOMER CONTACT

What I learned
doing it.

As a Red Bull Student Marketeer I work on events and campaigns alongside my studies. The job is planning, agreements and a lot of direct contact with people.

What it mostly comes down to:

  • Organizing eventsPreparing it and getting it done on site, even when the day goes differently than expected.
  • Working in a teamKeeping to what was agreed, owning my part of it and stepping in when something stalls elsewhere.
  • Approaching peopleTalking to strangers, explaining a brand and listening to what people actually want.
  • Selling and negotiatingFirst experience from conversations with bars and restaurants.

03 / SKILLS

Skills &
how I use them.

From my studies, my job and my own experiments

STUDIES & BACHELOR'S THESIS

Python & data analysis

Preparing measurement data, automating the analysis and visualizing results. I built a complete Python pipeline for my bachelor's thesis.

FOUNDATIONS FROM MY STUDIES

Statistics & measurement methods

Statistical analysis, error analysis and reading measurement data critically. That includes judging how far a result carries and where it stops.

FOUNDATIONS FROM MY STUDIES

Mathematics & modeling

Analyzing physical relationships and describing them with models. Foundations in calculus, linear algebra and statistical and numerical methods.

STUDIES & BACHELOR'S THESIS

Scientific work

Working through a question step by step, documenting results and writing them up so that others can follow.

05 / PERSONAL

Interests and how I work

What I am
interested in.

01

Judo and stamina

I hold a black belt in judo. What I start, I want to finish. When a subject grabs me, I go deep into it.

02

Travel and cultures

I have visited 36 countries, some of them more than once. I like getting to know other cultures and understanding how people live and work in different countries.

03

Economies, markets and technology

I follow emerging markets, the differences between countries and what new technologies open up economically. I find it especially interesting how start-ups build products for different markets. That is why I took business modules at university that were not part of my degree.

04

Drones and AI

I enjoy working with camera drones, drone technology in general and the practical use of new AI tools.

06 / CONTACT
