Oliver Bothe works since December 2024 as postdoctoral researcher at GERICS in the project “Cross-sectoral framework for socio-economic resilience to climate change and extreme events in Europe” (CROSSEU). His tasks in the projects are the development, calculation and evaluation of indices on climate impacts.
Oliver Bothe studied meteorology at the Universität Hamburg, where he also wrote his doctoral dissertation in the working group on theoretical meteorology. The dissertation dealt with climatic influences on meteorological drought and significantly higher precipitation particularly in central and east Asia.
Later he worked as postdoctoral researcher at the Universität Hamburg, the Leibniz Institute of Atmospheric Physics in Kühlungsborn, the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology in Hamburg and the Helmholtz-Zentrum Hereon in Geesthacht. A large part of his research focussed on paleoclimatology and particularly on the consistency of paleo-observations and simulations with climate models with respect to the climate of the last 500 to 2,000 years. He also worked on the climate of the last about 20,000 years. Further, he examined how the Quasibiennial Oscillation (QBO) evolves under anthropogenic climate change in idealised simulations of the middle and upper atmosphere. He also studied how parametrisations influence atmospheric model simulations with different resolutions. Most recently he worked as meteorologist at the Deutscher Wetterdienst to produce meteorological expert appraisals.
