Rate My Professor Gregor Leckebusch

Leckebusch specializes in natural science research on meteorological and climatological extreme events and related impacts, focusing on extra-tropical wind storms, tropical and extra-tropical cyclones, heavy precipitation events, compound events, their predictability across time scales, and changes under anthropogenic climate change. He has published about 70 articles in international peer-reviewed journals, with his work cited over 6,000 times (Google Scholar) and an h-index of 34. Key publications include 'On the relationship between cyclones and extreme windstorm events over Europe under climate change' (2004), 'Development and application of an objective storm severity measure for the Northeast Atlantic region' (2008), 'Mei-yu Front Assessment in CMIP6 Earth System Models During the East Asian Summer Monsoon' (2025), and 'Improvement of decadal predictions of monthly extreme Mei-yu rainfall via a causality guided approach' (2024). As principal or co-investigator, he has secured over £13 million in funding across more than 30 grants, collaborating with industry on climate risk assessments and parametric insurance. He serves on the editorial board of Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, has convened an EGU session on mid-latitude cyclones since 2009, contributed to IPCC assessments, and held a Marie Curie Fellowship from 2012 to 2016.
