(Subproject B3.3 in the joint project "Climate Change and Extreme Events - ClimXtreme II Module B - Statistics", 10/2023 - 09/2026, funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research)

Climate change influences the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events such as droughts or heavy rainfall. Under the leadership of Prof. Dr. Axel Bücher and Prof. Dr. Roland Fried (TU Dortmund University), statistical methods are to be developed and improved that will help to better assess the risk of such events.

Extreme value statistics deals with the statistical assessment of extreme and thus rare events such as heat waves, floods or stock market crashes. Under the direction of Prof. Axel Bücher, the project deals with the mathematical foundations of relevant statistical methods.

(Subproject for funding line „OERContent.nrw“, 04/2022 - 03/2024, funded by Ministry of Culture and Science NRW together with Digitalen Hochschule NRW)

Together with experts on statistics from Bochum, Dortmund and Siegen and under the direction of Prof. Axel Bücher and JProf. Kathrin Möllenhoff from the HHU, we develop digital courses on selected statistical topics which will be made available on the ORCA.nrw platform (Open Resources Campus NRW). The target group includes not only students of mathematics, but also of natural and engineering sciences or economics.
