Klaus Fraedrich

Klaus Fraedrich is a Visiting Professor at the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology in Hamburg, Germany, affiliated with the Department of Climate Physics. His research spans climate dynamics, nonlinear systems, tropical-extratropical weather interactions, and the development of accessible climate models.

His work employs advanced diagnostics to study regional climate variability, attribution of extreme events, and multi-scale atmospheric processes. Recent publications focus on precipitation extremes, urbanization impacts on CO2 emissions, and cryosphere-climate interactions.

Fraedrich has received prestigious awards including the Lewis Fry Richardson Medal and Max Planck Research Prize. He collaborates globally, with prior positions at universities in Australia, the USA, China, and Germany.
