Research Interests
I am an Earth system scientist with a background in mathematics, biogeochemistry and climate science. My research focus are compound weather and climate events, that is, combinations of climatic drivers that contribute to environmental and societal risk. I chaired the European COST Action DAMOCLES (Understanding and modeling compound climate and weather events, 2018-2023), which created a new community of climate scientists, engineers, social scientists, impact modellers and decision-makers to advance our understanding of compound events. In a review we proposed four different types of compound events, with the goal to aid in compound event analysis. I’m also a Professor at the Faculty of Environmental Sciences at TU Dresden.
I’m head of the Department of Compound Environmental Risks (CER) at UFZ. In CER we analyse different types of compound events in present and future climate, and we use machine learning to identify compounding meteorological drivers of extreme impacts such as floods, vegetation mortality and crop failure.
Currently I am consulting editor of a Special Issue on "Compounding effects as drivers of extreme events in socio-ecological systems” in the Cell Press journal iScience (Link). Previously I edited an Inter-journal Special Issue on compound weather and climate events and related impacts in the EGU journals BG, ESD, HESS, NHESS

and a Special Issue on compound events in Weather and Climate Extremes
