Short Biography
Prof. Dr. Uwe A. Schneider is an agricultural and resource economist with a strong background in agricultural science. His research interests relate to land use externalities regarding climate, water, soils, and nature reserves; impacts of land scarcity on food, biomass, timber, and species protection potentials; and market and welfare effects of environmental policies related to land use.
Uwe has a long expertise in mathematical programming with General Algebraic Modelling System (GAMS) and developed, coordinated, and supervised several large-scale optimization models of various scopes in the realm of agriculture, forestry, bioenergy, and fisheries.
Uwe grew up on a farm in a small village in the Eastern Ore Mountains about 20 km south of Dresden. After his high school education and the mandatory military service, he briefly worked for large farm cooperatives in East Germany. He then studied crop husbandry at Humboldt University, Berlin. In 1994, he went to College Station to study plant breeding and genetics at Texas A&M University. Within the first two weeks, he switched to Agricultural Economics. While pursuing a Master's Degree at TAMU, he began to be interested in integrated forest and agricultural sector analysis. He added a comprehensive greenhouse gas emission module to the US agricultural sector model. The application of the new Agricultural Sector and Mitigation of Greenhouse Gas (ASMGHG) model to study important policy questions resulted in his dissertation and several follow-up publications.
Since 2002, Uwe works at Hamburg University where he teaches courses on mathematical programming, dynamic optimization, agriculture and environment, GAMS, and the forest and agricultural sector modeling. He is the principle developer of several land use optimization models and most of his current research uses these models or contributes to their development. Uwe was a contributing author to the IPCC's fourth assessment report. He serves as regular reviewer for a wide variety of academic journals and research funding proposals and he is actively engaged in graduate education programs, i.e. the International Max-Planck Research School on Earth system Modeling and the School of Integrated Climate System Science.
