Uta is a Senior Science Advisor in the Science Team. She closely follows the IPCC process and provides scientific input in the context of the UNFCCC. Her research interests include regional climate change and climate extremes as well as science communication.
Prior to joining Climate Analytics, Uta worked for several years at Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) and at the European Climate Research Alliance (ECRA).
Uta holds a MSc in Climate Change from the University of Copenhagen and a BSc in Geography from Humboldt University of Berlin and Lund University.
