Dr. rer. nat. habil. Hagen Koch

Senior Scientist

Dr. habil. Hagen Koch is senior scientist at the Potsdam-Institute for Climate Impact Research. The main focuses of his work are the impacts of global change (climate, land use, socio-economy) on the regional scale and the analysis of effects on different sectors, e.g. water supply (households, industry, agriculture), wind power generation, thermal power generation and hydropower generation. Integrated water management and development of adaptation strategies, based on mathematical simulations, for these connected sectors are an important part of his work.
