The professorship at the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences is a joint appointment with PIK as a non-university research institution and part of the competitive Leibniz Programme for Women Professors. This programme is aimed at internationally outstanding female scientists from all disciplines.
Katja Frieler's research within the Leibniz Professorship Programme is focused on the attribution of climate impacts. Satellite data and simulations of climate impact models are used to quantify the damage caused by climate change that is already occurring today. The aim is to quantify the share of climate change in observed changes in the occurrence of droughts, forest fires and floods and how it influences the associated displacement and economic damage.
