معرفی
Katrin Nissen is a Scientific Associate at the Institute of Meteorology (Free University of Berlin), affiliated with the Department of Geosciences. Her work focuses on climate diagnostics, meteorological extreme events, and impact modeling.
- Education: Studied Meteorology (B.Sc/M.Sc) at FUB/TUB (1988–1994), followed by a doctorate in Meteorology at FUB (1994–1998)
- Postdoc: University of Edinburgh (1999–2001)
Katrin Nissen's research explores heavy precipitation, winter storms, and climate change impacts on hydrological extremes (floods, landslides), using extreme value statistics and climate system modeling. Her recent publications analyze climate change effects on rockfall/landslide probabilities (Germany) and flood risk assessment through non-stationary weather generators.
Active in the Climate Diagnostics and Meteorological Extreme Events working group, she contributes to projects like ClimXtreme, NFDI4Earth, and WEXICOM, examining stormy climate patterns and flood-weather interactions.
