Overview

Jürgen Vogt is affiliated with the European Commission in Belgium and specializes in environmental science, with a particular focus on climate variability, hydrology, and drought analysis. Their body of work spans multiple subfields including global and planetary change, atmospheric science, water science and technology, ecology, evolution, behavior and systematics, and nature and landscape conservation.

The scientist has contributed extensively to topics such as climate variability and models, hydrology and drought analysis, hydrology and watershed management studies, climate change impacts on agriculture, flood risk assessment and management, plant water relations and carbon dynamics, and tree-ring climate responses.

Vogt's recent publications reflect a strong engagement with drought and climate impacts. Notable papers include:

Global-scale drought risk assessment for agricultural systems (2020) published in Natural hazards and earth system sciences
How will the progressive global increase of arid areas affect population and land-use in the 21st century? (2021) published in Global and Planetary Change
A revision of the Combined Drought Indicator (CDI) used in the European Drought Observatory (EDO) (2021) published in Natural hazards and earth system sciences
Long-term forest monitoring reveals constant mortality rise in European forests (2022) published in Plant Biology
Global exposure of population and land-use to meteorological droughts under different warming levels and SSPs: A CORDEX-based study (2021) published in International Journal of Climatology

The researcher frequently publishes in venues that include the International Journal of Climatology, Natural hazards and earth system sciences, Global and Planetary Change, Plant Biology, and Earth's Future.

Collaboration is a notable aspect of Vogt's work, with frequent co-authors including Carmelo Cammalleri, Paulo Barbosa, Gustavo Naumann, Jonathan Spinoni, and Niall McCormick. These partnerships have supported a consistent output in environmental and climatic research.
