research hub
The research hub connects climes projects, publications, and data resources in one place. Here you can explore our ongoing research on climate extremes, risk modelling, and societal impacts, as well as interdisciplinary collaborations linking natural and social sciences. The hub highlights how climes researchers contribute to understanding complex climate risks and enabling informed decision-making.
Climes research is organized around three overarching themes, each targeting key knowledge gaps:
Data Development: We compile improved, freely accessible climate impact data for scientific and policy use, utilizing advanced natural language processing techniques for automated information extraction.
Impact Analysis: We unravel the complex interplay between the physical characteristics of climate extremes and societal responses, using interdisciplinary approaches to dissect the genesis of impacts.
Scenario Building: We develop socio-physical scenarios of future extreme events, accounting for societal and adaptation processes to aid in policy formulation and resilience building.

Sanja Duvnjak Žarković
Postdoctoral researcher at Uppsala University’s Department of Earth Sciences. She completed her Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering at KTH Royal Institute of Technology, specializing in power systems with a focus on Security of Supply. Sanja’s expertise includes mathematical optimization, data analysis, machine learning, and reliability analysis in power systems.
Her current research focuses on the impacts of extreme weather on power systems and their societal implications. She aims to enhance the resilience and security of these critical infrastructures by integrating security of supply concepts into broader power system resilience frameworks.
Research focus: Impacts of extreme weather on power systems and societal dependencies, aiming to improve resilience and security.
Murathan Kurfalı
Postdoctoral researcher at the Research Institutes of Sweden (RISE), specializing in natural language processing. Murathan holds a Ph.D. in Computational Linguistics from Stockholm University, with his research covering areas such as multilingual discourse analysis, evaluation of language models across languages, and computational analysis of textual corpora to gain insights into human perception.
During his postdoctoral work within the climes project, Murathan applies natural language processing techniques to large datasets (e.g., news, articles, and reports) to explore the impacts of climate change. His research focuses on mining data related to climate-related disasters and societal impacts, as well as analyzing how perceptions and discussions of climate change evolve over time.
Research focus: Improving language models for diverse linguistic applications, with a particular emphasis on developing computational tools for analyzing multilingual texts.
Aditya Narayan Mishra
Postdoctoral researcher at Uppsala University’s Department of Earth Sciences. Aditya completed his Ph.D. in Climate Science at Karl-Franzens-Universität Graz, Austria, specializing in regional climate modeling and extreme weather events. His research integrates climate simulations, atmospheric dynamics, and climate variability to assess the impacts of extreme events, particularly in extra-tropical regions.
His previous work spans multiple institutions, including time as a visiting scholar at the University of Reading and conducting research at the Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology. Aditya’s expertise includes precipitation patterns, climate dynamics, and feedback mechanisms in climate systems, with a focus on understanding how climate change intensifies extreme weather phenomena.
Research focus: Impacts of climate change on precipitation, atmospheric dynamics, and extreme weather events, with particular emphasis on regional climate modeling and simulation techniques to predict future climate scenarios.
Alicia N’Guetta
Researcher at Lund University’s Centre for Sustainability Studies (LUCSUS). Alicia holds a Ph.D. in Sustainability Science from Lund University. Her work spans climate impacts and action, adaptation, loss and damage, and climate governance, with regional experience in Africa, the Caribbean, and Europe (including French overseas territories and EU outermost regions). She works at the science–policy–society interface to co-produce knowledge that supports equitable, transformative climate action.
Before joining LUCSUS, Alicia worked as a Monitoring & Evaluation Officer with the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), covering Madagascar, Comoros, Mauritius, and Seychelles (based at the FAO office in Comoros). Her doctoral research examined narratives of loss and damage in tropical fisheries through a blue justice lens, contributing to projects such as the EU Horizon 2020 MACOBIOS and the FORMAS-funded DICE initiative.
Research focus: Climate change impacts and action; loss & damage; adaptation; climate governance; blue climate justice and equity.
