Claudine-Caroline Egger

Claudine-Caroline Egger is a researcher at the Institute for Social Ecology (SEC), University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences, Vienna (BOKU), since 2023. Her work focuses on agent-based modeling, quantitative data analysis, and scenario development for future agricultural systems under climate change. She contributes to projects like IRISCC (EU-funded climate risk infrastructure) and CHESS (climate-land use interactions).

• PhD in Social and Economic Sciences (2018–2023)
• Master’s in Social and Human Ecology at Alpen-Adria-Universität Klagenfurt (2012–2017)
• Master’s in Economics at University of Vienna (2010–2015)
• BSc in Economics and Socioeconomics at Vienna University of Economics and Business (2006–2010)

Her research spans social-ecological systems, emphasizing climate change adaptation, land use dynamics, and resilience in alpine and pre-alpine regions. She uses computational models to link farmer decision-making with environmental outcomes such as water quality and pollinator habitats. Recent work includes modeling multiple climate risks in biosphere reserves and analyzing time use for climate policy.

Key trends from her publications (2018–2025) include integrating agent-based models with hydrological simulations (e.g., SWAT), assessing agroforestry trade-offs, and exploring socio-ecological resilience in mountainous regions. Themes like carbon sequestration, pollinator conservation, and policy co-creation recur in her work.
