Peter Stucki

Dr. Peter Stucki is a PostDoc researcher in Climatology at the University of Bern's Institute of Geography. His work focuses on historical meteorology, hazard reconstruction, and dynamical downscaling of extreme weather events. He specializes in analyzing windstorms and floods in Switzerland and Central Europe since the 19th century, emphasizing their climatic drivers and societal impacts.

Key research projects include the reconstruction of the 1868 Swiss flood and its long-term implications, modeling historical Alpine cyclones, and assessing the frequency of extreme weather events in Central Europe. His interdisciplinary approach combines historical data analysis with advanced climate modeling techniques.

Publications highlight his expertise in historical climate extremes, such as the 2005 Alpine cyclones and the 1925 foehn storm. His studies often involve collaborations with international researchers to contextualize regional events within broader climatic frameworks. While no formal awards are listed, his contributions to historical climate reconstruction are widely recognized in the field.

Current work continues to explore the interplay between historical climate patterns and modern disaster risk management, with a focus on improving predictive models for extreme weather events.
