Peter has been working at the Climate Service Center Germany since summer 2018 and since October 2022, he is leading the BMBF junior research group ‘CoSynHealth – Conflicts and synergies between carbon-neutral and healthy city scenarios’. CoSynHealth will close research gaps between climate mitigation and climate adaptation and will provide tools for urban decision-makers to plan sustainable and healthy cities.
Previously, he worked within the Helmholtz Institute Climate Service Sciences (HICSS) in cooperation with the University of Hamburg in the LANDMATE project and in the WCRP CORDEX Flagship Pilot Study “LUCAS – Land use and climate across scales” and investigated the impact of land-use changes on the regional climate.
Peter got his Diploma and PhD from the University of Hamburg, Thereafter; he conducted regional climate projections for Vietnam, Australia, and the Pacific region in Melbourne at CSIRO to further assess the impacts of climate change for these countries. He then pursued his interest in modeling the various processes of the Earth system at the Seewetteramt in Hamburg (waves and ocean) and in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Hamburg (urban systems).
