​​​​

Marvin Reich is a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Hydrology Section of the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ Potsdam, Germany).

​

Doctorate (Dr. rer. nat.) (University of Potsdam), Dissertation: "Advances of hydrogravimetry - Terrestrial gravimeters as field tools for hydrological applications"

​

After his formation at the Technical University of Berlin, he started to work at GFZ with a research focus on "hydrogravimetry".

​

Numerous field installations of gravimeters (iGravs, gPhones) with additional hydrometerological sensor installations let him gain much experience in field instrumentation, site selection and planning, including energy self-sufficient solutions for long-term installation at independent remote sites. He has conducted many field surveys with traditional CG-6 relative gravimeters and within the last years has increasingly worked with Quantumgravimeters, both from the instrumental and application-based perspective. In 2024 he organized the first AQG (Absolute Quantum Gravimeter) comparison at Hannover, Germany.

​

Besides hardware equipment and field work, he was always a programming enthusiast (Python) who writes his own software for processing and analyzing. This includes the entire chain from field data acquisition, data transfer, automatic daily processing and on-the-fly visualizations. Lately he was working with a colleague from BKG on a first AQG processing software.
