Gabriele Ehmcke

Gabriele Ehmcke is a researcher at the Thünen Institute of Wood Research. She has a Diploma degree in Wood Science and Economy from the University of Hamburg, MIN Faculty, and a PhD from the Technical University of Munich. Her research interests include wood anatomy, modification, and fungal wood degradation. She has used spectroscopic techniques such as Light- and Electron microscopy and the special technology of UV microspectrophotometry in her research. G. Ehmcke is currently part of the EU-Project "Adaption strategies in forestry under global climate change impact".
