معرفی
Prof. Dr. Andreas Zischg is a leading academic at the Institute of Geography, University of Bern, serving as Group Leader for Human-Environment-Systems Modelling and Co-Director of the Mobiliar Lab for Natural Risks. With a focus on flood risk assessment and climate change adaptation, his research integrates coupled component models and GIS-based geospatial analysis to address extreme hydrological events and their societal impacts.
- Key Research Areas: Flood risk dynamics, climate resilience, surface water flood forecasting, and spatiotemporal vulnerability analysis
- Leadership Roles: Mobiliar Lab for Natural Risks (Co-Director), Human-Environment-Systems Modelling Group (Leader)
Recent publications highlight his work on probabilistic flood warnings, property-level adaptation measures, and human mobility during disasters. His 2025 work explores surrogate models for national flood forecasting, while 2024 studies analyze road network disruptions, climate change storylines, and systematic flood risk monitoring frameworks.
The Mobiliar Lab collaborations demonstrate his commitment to transdisciplinary research, combining hydrometeorological data with social science methodologies. His team develops visualization tools for risk communication and storyline approaches to climate change impact analysis, particularly in alpine environments.
Current methodological innovations include deep-learning damage prediction and mobile phone data analysis for disaster response. These projects emphasize both technical model development and practical implementation for Swiss emergency management and policy frameworks.
