Mario Krapp
Climate Finance Risk Analyst
Wellington, Wellington, New Zealand
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMario Krapp is a Climate Finance Risk Analyst and data-driven environmental scientist with 11 years of experience applying numerical modelling, statistics, and data science to Earth system problems. He blends deep academic training (PhD-level Earth system modelling) with hands-on implementation of fast, tractable models used for long-term ice-sheet and paleoclimate reconstructions, and more recently for climate-related financial risk assessment. Mario has worked across top research institutions and policy-focused groups—Max Planck, PIK, Cambridge, Climate Analytics, and GNS Science—bringing interdisciplinary collaboration with geneticists, archaeologists, and glaciologists into pragmatic modelling solutions. Now based in Wellington and holding an ongoing research affiliation with Victoria University, he connects rigorous quantitative methods to real-world decision contexts at TSB New Zealand. Colleagues value his ability to translate complex, multi-timescale climate processes into computationally efficient tools and actionable insights for negotiation support and finance. An underappreciated strength is his knack for making sophisticated models "fast enough" to run the long integrations policymakers and planners need.
