Petra Sieber is a lecturer at the Department of Environmental Systems Science at ETH Zurich, specializing in Land-Climate Dynamics. She joined ETH Zurich in 2022, having completed her PhD in Technology at the Swedish University of Agricultural Science in Uppsala, Sweden. Her previous studies include Engineering and Environment Bio-Resources Management at the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences in Vienna, Austria. Her research interests focus on the interactions between land and climate systems, including the effects of land use on climate, land-based climate change mitigation and adaptation, and land-climate feedbacks. She conducts field measurements, satellite observations, climate model simulations, and geospatial analysis, contributing to various projects such as the SWEET RECIPE, which explores the impacts of extreme climate events on the Swiss energy system, and the SPEED2ZERO project aimed at achieving net-zero greenhouse gas scenarios in Switzerland. She also investigates the implications of biodiversity change on European climates.
The GRE is mandatory for students who did not obtain their Bachelor's degree in an EU/EFTA state. Some departments (e.g., Computer Science) have specific ECTS credit requirements in core subjects.
