Our results are important for risk/impact analysts and decision makers who care about knowing the full range of possible climate futures 📈 For climate folks, this work can contribute some insight to the widely recognized challenge of generating localized climate information

Our main takeaways? Downscaling & bias-correction are relatively large sources of uncertainty: 🕓 over the near-term 🥵 in projections of temperature extremes 🌧️ in projections of precipitation 🗻 in regions of complex terrain and/or observational disagreement

The second paper of my PhD has been published in @Nature_NPJ Climate & Atmospheric Science! ✨ We quantify the uncertainty associated with downscaling & bias-correcting CMIP6 climate models. This uncertainty is important in many circumstances! 🧵... nature.com/articles/s4161…

Having presented and co-chaired MSCAR in previous years, I highly recommend it for all undergrad and grad students in the atmospheric sciences and related fields! A great opportunity to present your research before AGU/AMS, and the organizers have gone above and beyond this year
Midwest Student Conf. on Atmospheric Research@MSCAR_Illinois

Hi everybody! Here's an overview of #MSCAR2023. It will be hybrid and include a DOW facility tour, an early careers panel, and more! Abstracts are due on Sept. 8. Please keep in mind that you will also need to register in order to present! The link is atmos.illinois.edu/mscar

Looking forward to giving my first in-person talk in a longgg time at #AGU22 on Tuesday, on the role of downscaling and bias-correction in projections of local climate extremes. Please stop by and ask lots of questions if this interests you!
