Workshop on Statistics and Data Science for Climate and Weather Extremes
Atrium (Blücherstr. 17, 76185 Kalrsruhe)
Join us for a workshop featuring invited talks by:
-
Sebastian Engelke (University of Geneva)
Sebastian Engelke works on extreme value theory, graphical models, and statistical climate science. His group also focuses on extrapolation methods in machine learning and weather forecasting with AI.
-
Linda Mhalla (École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne)
Linda Mhalla's research focuses on extreme value theory, quantitative risk modelling, and causal inference, with applications in environmental and financial contexts. In her presentation, she will discuss causal discovery in multivariate extremes, applied to environmental data
-
Gabriele Messori (Uppsala University)
Gabriele Messori is an atmospheric physicist whose research focuses on climate extremes, including windstorms, temperature extremes, and heavy precipitation. His work adopts an interdisciplinary approach, examining the physical drivers, predictability, and impacts of these events within the Earth System.
-
Petra Friederichs (University of Bonn)
Petra Friederichs focuses on the statistical modelling and forecasting of weather and climate extremes, including post-processing of forecasts, the development of targeted verification approaches, and the detection and attribution of human activities on the evolution and characteristics of extreme events in the future climate.
KCDS members, as well as researchers from KIT and other universities/research centers, are warmly welcome. Participation is free of charge. Please note that KCDS does not cover travel or accommodation expenses. Register by 31 Oct 2025.
Organizers: Lisa Leimenstoll and Tobias Biegert
