Harald Rieder

Harald Rieder is a Professor in the Department of Meteorology and Climatology at the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences (BOKU) in Vienna. His research focuses on atmospheric chemistry, climate science, and environmental impacts of air quality. He holds a prominent role in studying ozone dynamics, stratospheric processes, and the effects of climate change on meteorological systems.

• Expertise includes: ozone depletion mechanisms, urban air quality, remote sensing of precipitation, and climate-chemistry interactions.
• Key affiliations: iIMET research group, BOKU Vienna.

His work bridges observational data with advanced modeling to address global challenges like Arctic stratospheric trends and pandemic-related environmental shifts. Recent studies highlight lockdown impacts on pollutant concentrations and future projections of air quality under climate change scenarios.
