About the author
Andreas Christen is a professor of environmental meteorology at the University of Freiburg in Germany. According to his university profile, he studied geography with minors in chemistry, earth sciences, and meteorology at the University of Basel, and later earned a PhD in meteorology there with research focused on atmospheric turbulence and surface energy exchange in urban environments.
His work centers on weather and climate in cities, including urban heat, turbulence, and exchanges of energy and carbon between urban surfaces and the atmosphere. He is also listed by Cambridge University Press as a co-author of Urban Climates, a book that helps readers understand how cities influence local climate and why that matters for everyday life.
That mix of research and teaching gives his writing a grounded, useful feel: it connects careful science with the real conditions people experience in built environments.
