WCRP promotes current and future leadership in climate science, making particular efforts to support and engage Early Career Researchers (ECRs) from all regions in the world, toward a sustainable climate research community.
In the context of the 8TH GEWEX OPEN SCIENCE CONFERENCE: EXTREMES AND WATER ON THE EDGE, WCRP has identified five outstanding early career scientist candidates through an international selection process performed in collaboration with several early career researcher networks. In the effort of promoting excellent science undertaken by early career scientists, WCRP would like to introduce you to five future leaders in climate science.
Andreas Prein Andreas Prein is using mesoscale climate models and high-resolution observations to improve our understanding of atmospheric processes that occur in extreme events and their changing characteristics due to climate change. Presentation presentation , summary |
Emily Slinskey
Emily Slinskey focuses on monitoring and tracking changes in precipitation extremes over space and time. She works toward broadening our understanding of different approaches to documenting extremes and the uncertainties associated with observational measurement techniques.

Julian Giles Julian Giles is very enthusiastic about programming and data analysis. He is currently using regional model data to study the effect of land-atmosphere coupling experiments in atmospheric circulation and precipitation characteristics. Presentation poster , summary |
Linyun Yang
Linyun Yang have studied the dynamical downscaling with WRF to investigate the impact of physical processes and nudging parameters. She is interested in weather system, particularly typhoon and dreamed about to be a storm chaser. Presentation poster , summary |
Mia Gross
Mia aims to communicate her research through a narrative that can be understood by both a scientific and non-scientific audience. She would like to continue researching climate extremes with a particular focus on regional to local-scale changes. Presentation poster , summary |
