Friederike (Fredi) Elly Luise Otto (born 29 August 1982) is a climatologist who as of December 2021 works as a Senior Lecturer at the Grantham Institute for Climate Change and the Environment at Imperial College London.[1] She is an Honorary Research Associate of the Environmental Change Institute (ECI) at the University of Oxford.[2] Her research focuses on answering the question whether and to what extent extreme weather conditions change as a result of external climate drivers.[3] A highly recognized expert in the field of attribution research, she examines the extent to which human-caused climate change as well as vulnerability and exposure are responsible for events such heat waves, droughts and floods. Together with climate scientist Geert Jan van Oldenborgh she founded the international project World Weather Attribution which she still leads.
[4][5][6] In 2021, she was included in the Time 100, Time's annual list of the 100 most influential people in the world.[7] She was also one of ten scientists who had had important roles in scientific developments in 2021 highlighted in the scientific journal Nature.[8]
