Janus Schipper

Dr. Janus Schipper is the Head of the Southern German Climate Office at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), where he has led research on regional climate modeling and adaptation since 2009. His work bridges meteorology, climate change impact analysis, and practical applications for environmental resilience.

• PhD in Meteorology (Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität, 2005)
• Diploma in Meteorology (Wageningen University, 2001)

His research focuses on climate downscaling, thermal comfort, and adaptation strategies, particularly in Germany. Projects include high-resolution climate simulations, heat-stress modeling, and climate-resilient construction materials. He collaborates on national initiatives like KLIWA and GLOWA-Danube.

Recent publications highlight his expertise in regional climate projections, precipitation downscaling, and human-environment interactions. Notable projects include Kommunaler Klimaschutz (2024-2027) and LandWandel (2023-2026), emphasizing community-level climate adaptation.

He engages in public communication, including TEDx coaching (2021) and contributions to VdS Schadenverhütung GmbH. His technical skills span meteorological data analysis, climate risk assessment, and impact modeling for sectors like construction and hydrology.
