Prof. Dr Katja Frieler

After finishing her MSc studies (Diplom, with distinction) in mathematics at the University of Bielefeld Katja Frieler spent three months at Banach Center for Differential Equations and Stochastic Processes at the Institute of Mathematics of the Polish Academy of Sciences, Warsaw, Poland (Marie Curie Fellowship, 2002). She finally decided against doing her PhD in mathematics but instead worked on improving our quantitative understanding of stratospheric ozone losses at the Alfred Wegener Institute of Polar and Marine Research (AWI), Potsdam. She earned her PhD (Dr. rer. nat., magna cum laude) in physics of the atmosphere at the University of Potsdam in 2006. Since 2024 she is Professor for the impacts of climate change at the University of Potsdam, Institute of Environmental Science and Geographie.

Before joining the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) in July 2008 she did a PostDoc at the Department of Biostatistics and Clinical Epidemiology, Charité- Universitätsmedizin Berlin to deepen her knowledge in statistics. At PIK she started to work on the development of simplified functions that allow for probabilistic projections of regional climate change in terms of global mean temperature change within the PRIMAP (Potsdam Real-time Integrated Model for the probabilistic Assessment of emission Paths) research group. Starting from probabilistic projections of climate change itself, her research focussed more and more on its impacts on natural and human systems.

In 2012 she initiated the Inter-Sectoral Impact Model Intercomparison Project ISIMIP with a small group of other scientists at PIK. Furthermore, Katja Frieler leads the open climate impacts encyclopedia ISIpedia, an online portal that provides low-threshold access to knowledge and data from the latest climate impact science. In January 2019 she became the acting Co-Head of Research Department 3 on Transformation Pathways – Climate Risks and Sustainable Development (RD3) at PIK together with Prof. Elmar Kriegler. Katja Frieler is lead author of Chapter 16 on "Key Risks Across Sectors and Regions" of the 6th IPCC-Assessment Report (AR6) of Working Group 2.

Katja Frieler’s research is dedicated to increasing our understanding of the impacts of climate change on natural and human systems through i) the integration of impact projections from different disciplines and ii) the attribution of observed changes in natural and human systems to historical changes in climate or direct human forcings such as landuse changes, changes in water or agricultural management, or in exposure or vulnerability of human systems. In this context Katja Frieler’s research is particularly focussed on human displacement and economic damage induced by weather-related extreme events. She has published more than 90 peer-reviewed articles and was named Highly Cited Researcher in 2020.
