PAOC Colloquium: Clara Deser (UCAR)
About the Speaker
Clara Deser studies global climate variability and climate change in observations and models, with an emphasis on interactions among the atmosphere, ocean, and sea ice. Recent projects include the role of internal variability in regional climate change, the effects of projected Arctic sea ice loss on global climate, asymmetries between El Nino and La Nina, and Pacific decadal variability. In addition to serving as Head of the Climate Analysis Section, she co-chairs the CESM Climate Variability and Change Working Group, and co-leads a number of NCAR community projects including the CESM1 Large Ensemble Project, the Climate Data Guide, and the Climate Variability Diagnostics Package. She is a Fellow of the American Geophysical Union and the American Meteorological Society.
About this Series
The PAOC Colloquium is a weekly interdisciplinary seminar series that brings together the whole PAOC community. Seminar topics include all research concerning the physics, chemistry, and biology of the atmospheres, oceans and climate, but also talks about e.g. societal impacts of climatic processes. The seminars generally take place on Monday from 12-1pm. Lunch is provided to encourage students and post-docs to meet with the speaker. Besides the seminar and lunch, individual meetings with professors, post-docs, and students are arranged.
