Ich bin Assistenzprofessorin am Institut für Atmosphären- und Klimawissenschaften der ETH Zürich und am WSL- Institut für Schnee- und Lawinenforschung SLF in Davos. Bevor ich nach Davos kam, studierte ich Geographie und Klimawissenschaften an der Universität Bern, promovierte an den Universitäten Zürich und Grenoble-Alpes und arbeitete als Postdoc an der Eidgenössischen Forschungsanstalt für Wald, Schnee und Landschaft WSL und am National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colorado. Meine Forschung fokussiert auf klimatische und hydrologische Extremereignisse wie Überschwemmungen und Dürren. Ich untersuche die hydro-meteorologischen Treiber von Extremereignissen, entwickle Methoden zu deren Vorhersage und quantifiziere Veränderungen im Wasserkreislauf und von Extremereignissen. Meine Gruppe an der ETH und am SLF quantifiziert das Gefahrenpotenzial und die Wasserverfügbarkeit in Bergregionen unter dem globalen Wandel.

WSL-Projekte

Consecutive drought-flood events in a warming world

In diesem Projekt geht es darum die schnelle Abfolge von Dürren und Hochwassern im Kontext der globalen Erwärmung besser zu verstehen.

Water quality extremes in mountain rivers

WAQUEX - Wasserqualitätsextreme in Gebirgsflüssen - untersucht das Auftreten und die Treiber von extremen Wassertemperaturen und Sedimentbelastungen, inbesondere in Kombination mit Dürren, Hitzewellen und Hochwassern.

Forest fire extremes in mountain regions

FoFiX - Auswirkungen des Klimawandels auf Waldbrandextremereignisse - ist ein Projekt das sich mit steigender Waldbrandgefahr und zunehmenden Waldbrandereignissen in Regionen beschäftigt, die noch nicht von Waldbränden betroffen sind, z. B. die Alpen und Mitteleuropa.

Floods and droughts under global change

In diesem Projekt soll das Verständnis und die Modellierung von regionalen hydrologischen Extremen im Alpenraum, im Kontext des globalen Wandels, verbessert werden.

Drought and flood statistics in regulated catchments

Dieses Projekt beschäftigt sich mit den statistischen Eigenschaften von multivariaten hydrologischen Extremen im Alpenraum, wo Gewässer immer stärker menschlich reguliert werden.
