Cornelia Auer received her PhD in data analysis and scientific visualization at FU Berlin, Germany.
Her research interests cover the two areas of mitigation scenarios but also impact projections.
She is co-project lead for the Preview climate conflict vulnerability index project in cooperation with the German Federal Foreign Office. She leads the synthesis of cascading climate change impacts for risk assessment within the CASCADES project
With respect to mitigation scenarios she is working on the communication and visualization of socio-economic/ mitigation scenarios from the IAM community. She (co-)lead the scientific communication and visualization the several projects (see visualization below). She has also successfully led co-production efforts with stakeholders from policy, NGOs and finance and developed a co-production manual for such efforts.

Ariadne Project
Cascades Project
NGFS Scenarios (Jan. 2020 - ) with IIASA, Uni. of Maryland, Climate Analytics and ETH Zürich
Finscapes Project
Cornelia Auer (co-)leads the scientific communication and visualization the following projects
The SENSES project - developing a climate change scenario service to provide access to a broader community of key decision makers to climate change scenarios. Scenarios cover the spectrum from global to regional and also include climate change (CMIP) - and impact- projections (ISIMIP). The SENSES project is also coordinated by her.
Kopernikus ARIADNE project about the German way to climate neutrality - supporting a common learning across the consortium, policy makers, businesses and the general public. The communication is not only a pillar in supporting the parties to be able to speak with one voice about options, consequences, and gaps in transition pathways, but also to provide external users a novel access to scenario data.
The NGFS portal - a follow up project from the SENSES project. Making scenario based risk assessment accessible to users from the financial sector, e.g. a global network of central banks (NGFS).
