Dr Katharina Bülow is a research associate in the "Regional and Local Climate Change" department at GERICS. Her work focusses on the user-oriented preparation of results from regional climate simulations of the EURO-CORDEX ensemble. One example of her work is the brochure "Stadtwald Karlsruhe im Klimawandel" published in June 2024.
During her work at GERICS, she gained extensive experience in various research projects. In the EUCP project, she coordinated the involvement of users to ensure a co-design approach in all activities. As part of a Copernicus C3S project and the ReKliEs-De project, she carried out numerous EURO-CORDEX simulations, validated and analysed the results and calculated a variety of climate indicators, including the development of future snow cover in Europe. In addition, she integrated the results of the EURO-CORDEX ensemble based on CMIP5 into the new CMIP6 ensemble.
After studying oceanography in Hamburg, Katharina Bülow first worked in regional ocean modelling at the University of Rhode Island, USA, and then as a measuring oceanographer at the GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research in Kiel. She then worked for a long time at the Helmholtz-Zentrum hereon in Geesthacht, where she developed a nutrient model for the Elbe. She later switched to the field of regional climate modelling and worked on the GLOWA-Elbe, KLIWA and KLIWAS projects at the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology in Hamburg. There she completed her doctorate on the topic of "Time series analyses of regional temperature and precipitation simulations in Germany". In recent years, she deepened her knowledge of coupled regional climate modelling at the Federal Maritime and Hydrographic Agency before moving to GERICS.
