Felix Pollinger

Felix Pollinger is a researcher at the Institute of Geography and Geology, University of Würzburg, specializing in climatology and environmental systems. He serves as a scientific staff member in the Climatology Working Group - Team Climate since October 2009, with expertise in large-scale atmospheric dynamics, applied statistics, and scientific computing in geosciences. Currently, he is involved in the BigData@Geo 2.0 project (2023-2027), funded by the European Regional Development Fund (EFRE), which focuses on enhancing agricultural sector resilience in Lower Franconia through tailored climate adaptation measures.

• Education:
  • Diploma in Geography (2009), University of Würzburg
  • PhD (Dr.rer.nat., 2014), University of Würzburg
• Research Focus:
  • Climate change impacts on agricultural systems
  • Regional climate modeling (REMO model)
  • Statistical downscaling techniques
  • Land surface-atmosphere interactions
  • Extreme weather event analysis
  • Climate analog regions identification

Recent Publication Trends: His 15 most recent articles (2010-2024) demonstrate expertise in climate change attribution (North Atlantic dynamics), environmental modeling (REMO/REMO-iMOVE), extreme weather analysis (precipitation/temperature), and agricultural adaptation (Africa/Congo). Notable subfields include irrigation-climate feedback, soil sealing impacts, and phenology modeling.

Scientific Collaborations:

• Co-supervised 9+ theses (2010-2024)
• Key contributor to BigData@Geo 2.0 project
• Collaborated with 15+ researchers across Europe and Africa
• Active in EFRE "Investitionen in Wachstum und Beschäftigung" program

Technical Expertise: Specializes in Climate Dynamics, Statistical Downscaling, and Land Surface Parameterization. Currently working with high-resolution climate models to address agricultural resilience challenges in Lower Franconia.
