Overview

Carl-Friedrich Schleussner is affiliated with Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin in Germany. Their research primarily focuses on environmental science, with a strong emphasis on global and planetary change, economics and econometrics, health, toxicology and mutagenesis, atmospheric science, and ecology, evolution, behavior, and systematics.

The scientist has contributed extensively to topics including climate variability and models, climate change policy and economics, atmospheric and environmental gas dynamics, climate change and health impacts, climate change impacts on agriculture, climate change and geoengineering, and meteorological phenomena and simulations.

Schleussner has published numerous papers, including recent notable works such as:

  • Current and future global climate impacts resulting from COVID-19, 2020, Nature Climate Change
  • Intergenerational inequities in exposure to climate extremes, 2021, Science
  • Indicators of Global Climate Change 2022: annual update of large-scale indicators of the state of the climate system and human influence, 2023, Earth System Science Data
  • Machine-learning-based evidence and attribution mapping of 100,000 climate impact studies, 2021, Nature Climate Change
  • Indicators of Global Climate Change 2023: annual update of key indicators of the state of the climate system and human influence, 2024, Earth System Science Data

Frequent coauthors with whom Schleussner has collaborated include Quentin Lejeune, Joeri Rogelj, Wim Thiery, Sonia I. Seneviratne, and Peter Pfleiderer.

The scientist's work has been published across various venues, with multiple publications appearing in Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research), Nature Climate Change, Environmental Research Letters, Earth System Dynamics, and Nature Communications.
