Peter Pfleiderer

Alumnus (Doctoral Researcher)

Peter Pfleiderer’s research is focused on the influence of global warming on weather extremes. For the EmBARK project he studies to which extend global warming makes extreme hurricane seasons more likely. Peter studied physics at the Freie Universität Berlin, wrote his master thesis at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact research and worked as research assistant at Climate Analytics before starting his PhD.
