The role of post-tropical cyclones for European extreme weather

Research Interests:

• Post-Tropical Cyclones/Extratropical Transition of Tropical Cyclones
• Post-Tropical Cyclones and Climate Change
• Seasonal prediction of Tropical Cyclones

Research Projects:

• 'The Role of Post-Tropical Cyclones for European Extreme Weather' - This SCENARIO funded PhD project aims to improve our understanding of the importance of Post-Tropical Cyclones (PTCs) from a risk perspective across Europe, identify the key drivers of historic interannual variability of PTC impacts across Europe, and to investigate how PTC impacts may change across Europe in a future, warmer climate.
