Frauke Feser

Frauke Feser is a senior researcher at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Hereon, Institute of Coastal Systems - Analysis and Modeling, leading the Coordination of Storm Themes team. Her work focuses on cyclone dynamics, climate change impacts on storm patterns, and regional climate modeling.

Key research areas include:

• Extreme weather event attribution using spectral nudging
• Arctic and North Atlantic storm activity trends
• Coastal climate risk assessment and adaptation
• Validation of regional climate models against observations

Her recent publications analyze:

• Climate change effects on marine heatwaves
• Comparative studies of storm datasets
• Methodological advances in dynamical downscaling
• Historical storm reconstructions using pressure data

She actively investigates:

• Cyclone formation under warming scenarios
• Regional climate model performance metrics
• Storm impact forecasting systems
• Interactions between large-scale circulation and coastal weather
