Katja Frieler’s research is dedicated to increasing our understanding of the impacts of climate change on natural and human systems through i) the integration of impact projections from different disciplines and ii) the attribution of observed changes in natural and human systems to historical changes in climate or direct human forcings such as landuse changes, changes in water or agricultural management, or in exposure or vulnerability of human systems. In this context Katja Frieler’s research is particularly focussed on human displacement and economic damage induced by weather-related extreme events. She has published more than 90 peer-reviewed articles and was named Highly Cited Researcher in 2020.
