Joeri Rogelj

Joeri Rogelj (born November 10, 1980 ) is a Belgian climate scientist who works at the interface between geosciences , energy modeling and climate policy . He is concerned with a. with the two-degree target and the CO2 budget . He conducts research at the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA).

Life

Rogelj completed a master's degree in engineering and development studies at the KU Leuven and received a doctorate in climate science from the ETH Zurich . He later worked as a research assistant at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) and as a postdoctoral fellow at the ETH Zurich.

Rogelj has been working at the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis since 2011.

Rogelj's work deals with emission scenarios , the CO2 budget , the uncertainty in determining climate change , the effects of short-term political decisions, and compromises and synergies between air pollution and climate policy .
