Ingeborg Auer

Ingeborg Auer is an Austrian climate scientist . She gained notoriety a. a. for their work on the HISTALP project .

Life

Auer comes from Velden am Wörthersee. 1970 she studied until 1975 at the Institute of Meteorology and Geophysics University of Vienna , she with a working "to chronicle and Synoptik in the Austrian Südalpenländern" by Dr. phil. completed. From 1975 Auer worked at the Central Institute for Meteorology and Geodynamics . In 2001 she became the head of the department for climatological land survey and hydroclimatology. In 2009 she became the head of the Climate Research Department. She retired in 2016.

Act

One of the main focuses of Auer's work was the creation of high-quality data sets for climate research, especially in the area of homogenization . Under her leadership, together with Reinhard Böhm, the HISTALP climate database for the Alpine region was created, which is one of the most long-term and high-quality climate data sets in the world. A look at the climate data based on her work shows that the climatic zones in the Alps have moved significantly upwards as part of climate change since 1800: In areas where there used to be snow all year round in the mountains, there is now grassland where there is Found grass, forest often grows today.
