By how much do weather and conflict shocks affect displacement in #Somalia?🏃💥☀️ @MoritzPSchwarz, @FelixPretis and I put numbers to annecdotes and show intervention points for humanitarian aid. Thanks @UniofOxford for highlighting our @GEC_Journal study: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

In 2022, flooding displaced millions of people in Pakistan. An international team of researchers used open data and tools to help understand differences in vulnerability to floods and better predict displacement in the future. Read more 👉 iiasa.ac.at/news/sep-2025/… @ClimateLisa

Climate attribution science could help predict future disasters — and help people avoid being forced from their homes, says @ClimateLisa Hear more on our podcast “Changing Climate, Changing Migration”

Attributing migration to human-caused climate change isn’t as simple as you might think @ClimateLisa walks through the detective work involved on our podcast, Changing Climate, Changing Migration. Find it wherever you get your podcasts

📣📣We are hiring! 📣📣 Roman and I are hiring a researcher to support our 3-y data science-heavy project on climate migration to and within Europe: iiasa.ac.at/employment/job… #climatechange #academia

I will not be posting on X for the time being. You can stay connected on my other platforms. I‘m also on Bluesky 🦋 Find all my accounts here: linktr.ee/ClimateLisa.

Posted a year ago, as part of the #10NICS 2024, and still very much relevant today.

As COP29 draws to a close, a new politics of climate resilient development is more urgent than ever putting social justice and ecosystem stewardship at the core, engaging all of society. See our new paper out today in @NatureClimate nature.com/articles/s4155…

@WCRP_climate thank you for hosting me as part of the Workshop on High-Risk Cascading Shocks. 2.5 days with great people and energy in the room!

@PaulNoth's cartoon sums up the election results - again.

Important work on heat in cities, led by a fellow #YSSP and my former advisors at @IIASAVienna.

Not for the first time, all Nobel Prizes in scientific disciplines this year have been awarded to men

Great cohort of young talents gathering at the 3rd #Como trainingschool on statistical modelling of @Compound_Event|s Big thanks to organisers and contributors C. DeMichele, P. Rivoire, @ZscheischlerJak, @Bevacqua_E, @giodc3 @ManuelaIBrunner, @ClimateLisa, @ks905383 among many

Work led by @ManniePMKam and colleagues, supervised by me and @radleyhorton as part of the Como training school on statistical modeling of @Compound_Event|s.

Ever wondered about displacement numbers? Let's take the 2022 Pakistan floods: We apply open-source data to a climate-vulnerability impact model to ground truth the model numbers (hint: most are wrong) & find out the role of urbanisation.📝@EarthsFutureEiC tinyurl.com/2022Pakistan

@GarrettMAA 💪

Exhausted - sent more applications out today than (I think) any other day this cycle. Another big one tomorrow for Oct 1. Hopefully I can get some rest and crank out more tomorrow.

Important remarks and lessons learnt on modeling climate related migration at the @GCCMobility #ClimateWeek #Climatesummit.

Deadly rainfall in Central Europe twice as likely due to our continued burning of fossil fuels - @WWAttribution study. Early warning meant deaths were avoided, but plans to strengthen flood defences have been implemented way too slowly.

Learn about Statistics and Physics of @Compound_Event|s at the 3rd Como Training School The application deadline is quickly approaching (August 25th) further details here: tinyurl.com/ComoSchool24 @kan_risk @IIASAVienna @LamontEarth @columbiaclimate

📢📢This NEW PAPER aims to help with research design for local assessments of #LossAndDamage from #ClimateChange. It's part of an edited book, which unfortunately will only become open access in 12 months. If you want a copy, please email me. link.springer.com/chapter/10.100…
