During her studies, she dealt with scientific issues in the fields of ecology and climatology. In the field of climatology, her focus was on urban climatological issues.

Brigitte Reinefeld:

Brigitte Reinefeld is primarily responsible for the creation of an unsealing concept for Salzgitter. The unsealing of surfaces improves water infiltration, reduces flood risks, increases biodiversity in cities and provides better heat protection. Furthermore, unsealed surfaces provide an improved microclimate, which can increase the quality of life for citizens.
