Pauline is a post-doctoral researcher interested in climate extremes, compound events, extreme value theory, subseasonal forecast and early warnings.
She gained her PhD in climate sciences from the University of Bern in 2022, with a focus on precipitation extremes and dataset assessment. Her work is focused on the quantification of heat extremes and compounding weather and climate events, as well as the identification of hydro-meteorological drivers for forest damage, among others.
She is the Vice Chair of the COST Action ANTICIPATE, CA24144 (extended-range multi-hazard predictions and early warnings)
