Helga Kromp-Kolb had her schooling in France, Luxemburg, India and Austria and studied meteorology at the University of Vienna.

As a university teacher and researcher she has focused on environmental meteorology, engaging in problems of air pollution dispersion, UV-radiation and stratospheric ozone depletion as well as climate change. Her publications include assessments of radioactive dispersion from Chernobyl as well as for potential accidents at near-border nuclear power plants (NPPs) and methodological and practical work on downscaling of Global Circulation Model (GCM) climate scenarios to the Alpine region.
