My research is centered around coastal hazards and extreme events in the North Sea, such as extratropical windstorms and storm surges. I am particularly interested in the statistics of the storm and surge climate of the North Sea, how well we can predict these statistics on a seasonal-to-decadal timescale, and how we can use these predictions to improve coastal protection in Northern Germany.
