Marlene Kretschmer is Postdoctoral Researcher at the Meteorology Department at the University of Reading, UK. Her research focuses on large-scale climate variability and predictability, with a focus on the dynamical troposphere-stratosphere coupling and its role for causing temperature and precipitation extremes. She is particularly interested in applying novel statistical methods from machine learning, such as causal discovery algorithms, to tackle these issues.
