• PhD Researcher

Marjolein Ribberink is a PhD student in the Climate Extremes group, part of the Water & Climate Risk department at the Institute for Environmental Studies (IVM). She is supervised by Dim Coumou and Nadia Bloemendaal.

Her research focuses on the extratropical transition of tropical cyclones and the subsequent hazards they pose as post-tropical cyclones, and how this changes with a changing climate.

Marjolein obtained her BSc. in Atmospheric Science from the University of British Columbia (Canada) followed by her MSc. in Climate Physics from Utrecht University (Netherlands). She wrote her Master’s thesis on alternate climate simulations of Hurricane Ophelia, which struck Ireland as a post-tropical cyclone in 2017.
