Aufgaben
The aim of the thesis is to further develop multi-variable, high-resolution daily weather reconstructions for Switzerland and Europe and to analyse the historical frequency, intensity, characteristics and timing of past weather and climate extremes in these data. The focus will be on heatwaves, droughts, wildfires and floods. Alongside statistical analysis, the meteorological and climatological conditions that lead to climate extremes will be studied, as well as the impact of these events in the past. The goal is to quantify the variability of weather and climate extremes in the pre-industrial era using multi-century observation-based meteorological fields alongside climate model simulations. The thesis will inform the generation of storylines of climate extreme and contribute to attribution studies within the project.
Anforderungen
We are looking for a candidate with an MSc degree in geography, climate science, environmental science or similar, with proven skills in statistics, quantitative methods and programming as well as openness for interdisciplinary work. The University of Bern promotes equal opportunity and diversity, supporting female and minority researchers.
